Php background process in Windows environment

am using Windows 7 and Wamp Server. I have 2 php files trigger.php, background.php. I want to run background.php in the background. I need to call this file from trigger.php.

I tried below methods.

I added this code to trigger.php

    $WshShell = new COM("WScript.Shell");
   $oExec = $WshShell->Run("C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.5\php-win.exe -f C:/wamp/www/background.php", 0, false);

but my background.php is not called.

How can i do this?

any suggestions are appreciated.

function execInBackground($cmd) { 
    if (substr(php_uname(), 0, 7) == "Windows"){ 
        pclose(popen("start /B ". $cmd, "r"));  
    } 
    else { 
        exec($cmd . " > /dev/null &");   
    } 
}


in this case your $cmd

will"php C:/wamp/www/path/to/background.php"

i changed the function as below,

$cmd = 'C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.5\php.exe C:\wamp\www\email3.php';

function execInBackground($cmd) { 
    if (substr(php_uname(), 0, 7) == "Windows"){ 
        pclose(popen("start /B " . $cmd, "r"));  
    } 
    else {
