I’m creating a app that requires me to run a second php script while the first script is still running.
I’m new to php programing so I’m sure there’s a simple function I can use that I’m just not aware of.
Looking forward to any help…

Since you are new to PHP I’m guessing you’re looking for the include/require (and include_once/require_once) language constructs which will execute another PHP script as if it is part of the current script.
Otherwise if you want it to run as a separate process look into exec, shell_exec, or backticks. If you need the other PHP script to run as a background process make sure to redirect stdout somewhere (a file or maybe /dev/null if you don’t need it) so that your currently executing script doesn’t have to wait for it to finish to continue executing.
