What this does is sends all the STDOUT and STDERR to /dev/null, and your script keeps executing. Even if the 'parent' script finishes before myscript. Php, myscript.
Php will finish executing.
If you don't want to use exec you can use a php built in function!
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
