在Codeigniter中在后台调用另一个方法名称

Question

I am new to background processes in Codeigniter. I thought CURL would help me in executing a method name.

Basically, My website is sending a mail to admin(me) whenever an user drops a msg. My controller method inserts in the database and executes Curl library (calls another method name) for background execution so that user doesn't have to wait until the mail has been sent. I tried CURL library by Phil Sturgeon but my hard luck.

Help appreciated. Thanks a lot.

curl is not going to run a method in the background. If you want to run background jobs in php, you would need to use the command line / exec() .

However, a more solid way to add jobs in the background - if sending mail really takes that long - would be to add the message to a message queue in a database and schedule a job (using cron on linux for example) that checks the queue periodically for messages to be sent.
