PHP file that accesses another PHP file
<p>I have a PHP file (accessible on my site) that modifies rows in a MySQL database. If there are a small number of rows, the file loads quickly. However, if there are a large number of rows (over a thousand and climbing), <strong>there is a noticable pause and I would assume that this could potentially time out</strong>. Additionally, <strong>for security reasons I would prefer that the user not interface with this file directly</strong>.</p>

<p>I would like to make a PHP file that the user can interface with directly, but when they click ok, this page shows "Finished" immediately. However, it should connect to the first PHP file in the background and allow the rows to be modified. I don't have a lot fo experience with PHP... how should I do this? Thanks.</p>
