I have two scripts: The first checks adirectory for data files several times an hour. If data files arefound, a second script is called to process each data file. The secondscript is time intensive and if there are multiple files to process I'msure to encounter timeout issues (and I don't want to increase my phptimeout to unreasonable levels)
(fwiw, the second script does not involve repeated MySQL queries (onlyone read per file), it's just text parsing but there is a LOT of text.Perl is not an option at this point. I'm using ereg instead of thebuilt-in php str functions to help ease the load on the cpu).
So -- is there a way to fork (or spawn) a new php process in a windows environment?
Many thanks,
