Starting a long php script from a web page

Hi,

I have php script that takes several hours to run and I'd like to start it
from a web page. I've tried to use include and the system() function to
call the script directly but it still waits for it to finish.

Anyone know how to call a script and get on with it?

Thanks!
Jeff
