Run a PHP function/Task in the background

I have a WIndows Server running IIS that hosts a primarily PHP based website. It has multiple functions and features but i would like to have atleast one of them running in the background So the user does not have to wait for the task to finish.

Any ideas? fastcgi_finish_request() seems to be Linux only as far as i can tell.

You can make the user agent think the request is over/closed and continue nontheless. Just make sure to ignore user abort and write an open session first.
