Hi everybody,
How could I make sure that the startProcess(); function is being called, but without halting the execution for myFunction(). I'll guess that there's a way to call a function and prevent it from returning it's value to thereby accomplishing this?

Pseudo-code:

function myFunction() {

    startProcess();

    return $something;       
}

function startProcess() {
    sleep(5);
    // Do stuff that user doesn't should have to wait for.
}
