Running Process in background in PHP

Question

Some Php Process took long time to complete, like several hours.

So users cannot wait for loading the php file. Please help to find the way how i could run php in background. It should be processing in the background(could be hosting background or something else) although after we closed that php.

Be more specific - are you running your script via web-access? (web-server), or it's CLI mode? Which OS it is? — Alma Do, Sep 17 '13 at 09:49

Have you ever tried microtime()..?
Timing How Long Code Takes to Execute

This little technique is really useful if you want to time exactly long it too to, say, load a page, or run a block of code. It takes advantage of PHP's microtime() function.

$start = microtime(true);
//Do stuff in here
sleep(1);
//Stop doing stuff
$end = microtime(true);
$time = $end - $start;
echo $time;
