I would like to run a PHP script from another PHP script so that the parent comes back with a success when it initiates the child script.

The parent will be initiated from the browser where I am using sessions. Will the child script be able to make use of the same session and session variables if run via exec?

Thanks all for any help

Scenario

I am firing off the parent via AJAX. After I do this, I want parent to run the child and come back. The child script will take a while to complete. The parent will return a success to indicate it has run the child. The user will then be redirected to a different page.

    Like the others said, it will not work.

    But, you can do ignore_user_abort( true );

    This will keep you script running even if the user closes their browser.

    So, ignore_user_abort, include the massive child script within the parent so you get the session vars and everything, and you should be fine.
