At the link below, the PHP manual says that &quot;Note: If you start a program using this function and want to leave it running in the background, you have to make sure that the output of that program is redirected to a file or some other output stream or else PHP will hang until the execution of the program ends.&quot;<br />
<br />
Could someone post a simple example of how to redict output to a file using the passthru() function?<br />
<br />
Thanks!<br />
