Hello!
I am executing an external command from a PHP script, using the exec function. Since this program can take more than 1-2 minutes to run, I thought I should use a "Loading page...please wait". What I need is to be able to get the process id from the external program that is being run and, when this finishes, I'll start outputting the results.
Is there a way to do this?
