When posting my form to another page which runs various shell_execute
commands, the actual page that runs the command does not load, but the
command seems to be executed. Why is this? I tried putting a two second
sleep at the top of the page to make sure it loads, but it still doesn't
load. How can I make this page load before the command is processed by php?

By pushing the command into the background, e.g.:

shell_exec('command &' );
