See the PHP documentation for exec here http://php.net/manual/en/function.exec.php
If I understand correctly you want to process data on 'a.php' and then trigger another PHP file in the form of b.php. You could probably merge these tasks to make it easier and avoid using exec all together, but below should do what you require, this is the a.php file...
//Process form data here
echo exec('php b.php');
This will return the result of b.php, you can leave the echo off if you don't require an output. It may also be worth looking into passthru as well http://php.net/manual/en/function.passthru.php
As per the documentation there are some limitations to take into consideration when it comes to PHP Safe mode

take a look at this:
by shell_exec() command you can run whatever you run in command line:
<?php
$output = shell_exec('ls -lart');
echo "<pre>$output</pre>";
?>
in your case:
//if form submitted
$output = shell_exec('php b.php');

Include a.php file in b.php file
and then run
D:\xampp\php>php b.php

Try this may be it helps you,
file_get_contents('b.php');
this code at end of your a.php file

Another way use
shell_exec('b.php');Keval Rathi
shell_exec() will execute your b.php file in background
