Execute another PHP file without waiting for it to finish its execution
<p>I have StartServer.php file that basically starts a server if it is not already started. Everything works perfect except that the StartServer.php will hang forever waiting for the shell_exec()'d file Server.php to finish its execution that it never does.</p>

<p>Is there a way to execute a PHP file and just forget about it -- and not wait for its execution to finish?</p>

<p>Edit: It has to work on Windows and Linux.</p>
