php from command line -- how do I extend script timeout?

I have a need for a web app to collect some data and then spawn a
separate process (thread) to handle the request asynchronously,
disconnecting the user immediately and sending them an acknowledgement
that we're processing it and they should check their email within the
hour.

This can be done with exec or popen and then call a script at command
line with php -q scriptnamegoesh ere.php.

{ Aside: BTW, I highly recommend you do "php -q script.php >>
debug_output.lo g" so that you have at least some resort for
troubleshooting . }

However, I just ran a very long test script and it finally stopped and
said it timed out. I'm sure that someone has figured out a statement
you place in your PHP script to make it extend the timeout period, or
am I "strangely out of luck"?

I used to execute a command line script in IIS 4 using Dynuexec. This is a third part server object I installed on the server (http://www.dynu.com/dynuexec.asp). I installed this object onto my Windows 2003 Server and I cannot run the script from an ASP. No error is generated on the screen or in the event log. I think this has something to do with IIS not being able to access cmd.exe from IIS or maybe with COM permissions? Not sure though....

I'd like to write a PHP script to be used from the command line on a Unix machine.

In particular, image tags should print out as images, not image tags. Does anyone have an idea...

The TCL command I am using will do a command-line action on a PHP script: set cannotRunPHP I have to do it this way as both the TCL script and the PHP script run as CLI.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
