I don’t see any asynchronous code.
fgets ist waiting for input line.
All you do is flushing php buffer (ob_flush(); flush()). There is no sense doing this in a pipe.
Do something else instead of a traceroute(6) without response line by line and your code will wait unlimited.

I think the thing that was confusing ppl is the use of quotations in the following line:

pclose(popen(‘start /b ‘.$call.”, ‘r’));

This should actually be:

pclose(popen(‘start /b ‘.$call, ‘r’));

This also saved my day. Thanks man!

@diiar: It’s possible your host prohibits the use of popen() for security reasons. You should check with your admin.

This doesn’t work with me. I don’t know what’s wrong, but lauchBackgroundProcess() doesn’t do anything. However, if I add fgets() as in the second script, it works. But, it’s not an asynchronous call!!

the code:

pclose(popen(‘PHP http://picnictoimpeach.us/remote.php5', ‘r’));

this ain’t workin. any ideas? running on a linux host:

if this is shelling out to the system, then i don’t have shell access. is there way way to do an asynchronous call to a php script WITHOUT calling the shell?

thanks
