    text
    copied!<p>I have a deal where file1.php curl runs file2.php. file2.php is a long running file, but it sends(or is supposed to send) a response back to file1.php then carry on with it's code. I am using output buffer to try sending this data, but the problem is if I 'return;' right after the flush; file1.php receives the response just fine, but when I try to keep file2.php running, file1.php never receives the response, what I am doing wrong? Is there a different way I must send the response back to file1.php?</p> <pre><code>// file1.php $url = "file2.php" $params = array('compurl'=&gt;$compurl,'validatecode'=&gt;$validatecode); $options = array( CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER =&gt; true, // return web page CURLOPT_HEADER =&gt; true, // return headers CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION =&gt; true, // follow redirects CURLOPT_ENCODING =&gt; "", // handle all encodings CURLOPT_USERAGENT =&gt; "Mozilla", // who am i CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER =&gt; true, // set referer on redirect CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT =&gt; 120, // timeout on connect CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS =&gt; 10, // stop after 10 redirects CURLOPT_TIMEOUT =&gt; 10, // don't wait too long CURLOPT_POST =&gt; true, // Use Method POST (not GET) CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS =&gt; http_build_query($params) ); $ch = curl_init($url); curl_setopt_array( $ch, $options ); $response = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); echo $response; // file2.php ob_start(); echo 'Running in the background.'; // get the size of the output $size = ob_get_length(); header("HTTP/1.1 200 OK"); // I have tried without this header("Date: " . date('D, j M Y G:i:s e')); // Tried without this header("Server: Apache"); // Tried without this header('Connection: close'); header('Content-Encoding: none'); header("Content-Length: $size"); header("Content-Type: text/html"); // Tried without this // flush all output ob_end_flush(); ob_flush(); flush(); // If I add return; here file1.php gets the response just fine // But I need file2.php to keep processing stuff and if I remove the // return; file1.php never gets a response. </code></pre>
