I have a function to execute some database input then send notification to a user, the problem is when i execute the send notification to a user is taking some time, i need this process to run in background but i don't know how to do it, here is my code:

public function execute(){
 $data = $this->insertToDatabase();
 $this->sendNotification($data); //this function takes a lot of time
 return $data;
}

What have you tried so far? – Max von Hippel Jun 05 '18 at 03:58
@MaxvonHippel i used try catch & finally , but it still takes a lot of time – Tiny Dancer Jun 05 '18 at 04:03
@TinyDancer `try catch` doesn't make something async. I think you've misunderstood the purpose of `try catch`. – Script47 Jun 05 '18 at 04:04
@Script47 can i use fork for this case? – Tiny Dancer Jun 05 '18 at 05:09
