PHP background process

Question

I've wrote a php irc bot, but i need it to work in the background. With this there'd be no quits or so. What is the best way to do this?

Thanks and Regards.

Take a look at the following website. There is a pretty descend explanation on how to write PHP daemons.

Run it in screen, then detach. You can then quit the terminal and re-attach to the screen session later.

I use something similar:

nohup php /path/to/script.php > /dev/null 2> /dev/null&
