Will a PHP script maintain its session if it is run via exec?

[meninblack]

I would like to run a PHP script from another PHP script so that the parent comes back with a success when it initiates the child script.The parent will be initiated from the browser where I am using sessions. Will the child script be able to make use of the same session and session variables if run via exec?Thanks all for any helpScenarioI am firing off the parent via AJAX. After I do this, I want parent to run the child and come back. The child script will take a while to complete. The parent will return a success to indicate it has run the child. The user will then be redirected to a different page.
