PHP exec() as Background Process (Windows Wampserver Environment)

I am using WAMP server to execute my php scripts.

I have a controller file called MainController.php to which a command line argument is passed. On the basis of command line argument a new separate php script e.g. test1.php , test2.php and so on is executed using exec() function every time.

I want that my MainController.php should not wait for the response from the executed php script like test1.php and should proceed further.

Currently I am using following statement to execute the script in background shell_exec('C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.13\php.exe test1.php > /dev/null 2>/dev/null &');

but it giving me an error

The system cannot find the path specified.

Kindly suggest what am I doing wrong ?

The commands you are using works on *nix systems, not on windows. – Salman A Feb 04 '13 at 09:05
