Im having a little trouble with running a php script in the background.

I have my admin area which has HTTP authentication to access and a mail out script which I want to run in the background. This script will take a long time to execute so I wish it to execute in the background.

My idea is when I access the “send” page, it executes the send script in the background and redirects the user off elsewhere.

However currently attempting to use cURL I cannot cURL into the send script as it returns Authorization required.

Any advice appreciated, thanks.

    1. Create some queue of jobs (database / files / writing directly to some socket).
    2. Create either a deamon (socket) or cron job which consumes those jobs.
    3. Let the worker report when a task is done in some store if needed (database / file / etc.), if you want to provide a ‘success’ (or failure) message later on.
