Closing output stream but continuing script execution...

Fed the HTTP request but want to carry on with a time consuming process

Any of you PHP guru's know how to flush and close the output stream, but allow the script to continue execution?

Can't find anything in a GGroups search, and no obvious functions showing up in the documentation. Any ideas?

I usually use the flush() function. But that's C, win API. You'll have t ocheck for your OS/language.

Another option would be to spawn a second process that does the actually after work.
