Hi there,
So here is the situation I'm in. My PHP script does something like
this:

1. Update a DB (only once)
2. Send some post data to another PHP script (only once)
3. Output some stuff related to 1 and 2.

I've done #2 by using input type="hidden" on a form, like so:
print "<form action='../dir/register.php' method='post'
name='DirReg'>";
print "<input type='hidden' name='username' value='$sname' >";
print "<br>";
print "<input type='hidden' name='email' value='$email' >";
print "<br>";
print "<input type='hidden' name='password' value='$pwd' >";
print "<br>";
print "<input type='hidden' name='password2' value='$pwd' >";
print "<br>";
print "</forum>";

print "<script language=javascript>";
print "document.DirReg.submit()";
print "</script>";
}

This works awesomely, but the problem is that control flows to the
script that performs the action on the form. I kinda want to send this
stuff to the PHP script, and then continue processing the rest of PHP
script #1. In the UNIX world I would put the form job in the
background. Is there a way of doing that here?

Thanks,
