Want To Spawn Process From Windows PHP
I wanted to write some code purely on Linux, but unfortunately the
document scanner drivers are non-existent for the high-end commercial
document scanners. So, I had to port my Linux PHP project to Windows
PHP (WAMP). There, I found a scanning tool (Kodak Image Scan -
imgscan.ocx) that I can put on a VB form, tell it to scan some
documents into a TIF file, and then shut down.
I can run this VB app at command line just fine, but when I run it from
either a popen(), system(), or exec() call, it won't detach from the
PHP page. Instead, it just sits there. I can see the VB exe I made is
being loaded properly in RAM, but unfortunately it sticks and won't
unload on its own, nor will it tell the scanner to engage. I have to
kill the VB exe and then the PHP page continues.
What's the way to spawn a detached process from PHP on Windows?

I was told that some PHP processes could be hanging around in the process table, preventing the spawnning of new processes, but I really doubt it since I have low traffic and my php applications arent that complex. Does anybody know how to get rid of those errors?

Process ID
I am starting a process with the system command via a php page. I want to put a button on the same page which will let the user kill the process by clicking that button. To do this, I need to know the process ID. I could grep for it, but that also returns the grep command. How can I make PHP tell me the process ID of a process I started? It seems as if this would not be a problem but I guess I am missing something.

Getting Your Own Process ID
I am doing some work where I want to do locking, and prevent scripts from running in parallel. I see that I could use the semaphore mechanism, but I'd like for my code to be portable, and that extension is not enabled in many places. I need some way for a process to uniquely identify itself. It can then look at the storage container (flat file, DB, whatever is appropriate in context), check to see if the requested semaphore is available, and if it is, acquire it and then mark itself as the owner. It can then check that it did in fact get ownership (as opposed to another process which attempted to acquire it at the exact same moment) before proceeding. Code:

Process Form Twice
I have a basic form on one website. But the way it is setup is once the submit button is hit it takes them to a different site where the form is processed. Is what I need to do is have a way that once the submit button is hit I need to save the persons name only in a text file or something then have it go to the other page to be processed. Does that make sense. i know how to save the info from the form to a text file but don't know how to have it do both, save the name and then take the user to the other page where the registration form is processed.

Process This Form
I want to have a form which has several rows for example: username1 firstname1 surname1 username2 firstname2 surname2 username3 firstname3 surname3 username4 firstname4 surname4 What I want to do is when this data is typed into the form to save it in a MYSQL db. The problem isn't with the saving, it's with the form itself. What is the best way to process this? I can't really name the various fields "username1" and "username2" because I would then need to replicate these as variables and this form generated could have an number of rows so hard coding the form field names with numbers makes it hard. Is there any way I can do this?? How have other people tackled this sort of thing in the past?

PHP Load Process
I've tried searching around for information on how PHP parses and renders itself. Basically, I'm writing a bunch of scripts that rely on a core file. The core itself is quite large (around 20k), but the scripts that reference it don't often utilise the entire contents of the core. Inside the core are functions that are never called *inside* the core, and a bunch of constants and globals that I call from the referencing scripts. So I guess in a nutshell, I want to know if when I call require, does PHP read the *entire* file? Or does it only read the bits it needs? I realise that last sentence makes me sound like I have trouble putting legos together, but I would just like to know how PHP goes about it duty.

I already know the php commands to kill a process and also to list the running processes, but i was wondering if it was possible to get the php code to store the PID of the program upon starting so that when the "kill" button is pressed, it reads the string from the database/text file etc. and kills that process only.

Does PHP Process Requests Sequentially On One CPU?
With ASP.NET I've found that request are processed sequentially, one at a time, at least on a server with one CPU. If one request blocks for some reason, maybe on a long database query, then all users must wait until it completes, for their request to process. This leaves me wondering about PHP running on IIS and Window. Does this hold true for PHP also? What about PHP on Unix? Does this allow true simultaneous processing of all requests when the server has a single CPU?

Oracle + PHP + Long Process
Oracle 10g RAC on Linux, with an end-user interface via Apache/PHP/AdoDB on a separate Linux box. I need to create a PHP web interface to allow an end-user to run a PL/SQL stored proc that will do a force refresh of a series of materialized views following the loading (through another PHP interface) of additional flat file data into the underlying tables. I want to allow multiple data uploads and then do a single refresh, so I won't be able to use fast refresh or other internal database trigger mechanisms. My real problem is that the time taken to execute the stored proc is likely to considerably exceed the max script execution time for PHP, and I don't want the end-user interface to just sit there bubbling away waiting for the Oracle processes to return a response anyway. I am considering creating a "master" PL/SQL stored procedure which would use the Oracle DBMS_SCHEDULER package to run a nearly-immediate job as a "background" (to the PHP interface) process. Is this the way to go, or are there other better solutions that I am overlooking?

When the computation is finished i would replace the refreshing page with the new page containing the results.

I read in the php manual that handling processes within a web server environment could raise problems. Is there a simple and a clear manner to solve this problem?

XP Exec Background Process
I was trying to exec a background process on XP using PHP CLI, but could not get it to work. Suppose the command I want to spawn off is "cmd". On *nix, it is as easy as putting ampersand "&" at the end of the command. I tried the following on XP without working. exec("cmd"); exec("cmd >NUL"); exec("cmd /c cmd"); exec("start /b cmd"); I tried many combination, but on each one, PHP waits for cmd to exit before continuing. Doing this in Windows script host (cscript) is simple: Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") objShell.Run "cmd", 0, False The "False" parameter causes the Run method to continue immediately without waiting for the command to finish. So I could make my PHP file exec a VBS file that does the actual background execution of my command. PHP exec documentation says it will not wait if output of the command is redirected somewhere, but this didn't seem to work for me.

There seems to a conflict of interest here ?
