title: Running continuous PHP (script) background processes on a WAMP server
body: <p>I got the 140dev Twitter framework (which uses the Twitter phirehose) manually 
  running (via the webbrowser on my local wamp server), but I can't 
  figure out how to run both get_tweets.php and parse_tweets.php as a 
  background process like with SSH commands:</p>
  
  <pre><code>nohup php script.php &gt; /dev/null &amp;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Some of you started using (the Windows equivalent of) cronjobs, but 
  this isn't the right way to go. I think this is because of creating 
  multiple connection (or re-connections) to the Twitter streaming phirehose isn't allowed? 
  How can I run both PHP scripts (get_tweets.php and parse_tweets.php) 
  as a background process on my local WAMP server (and later on a VPS)? </p>
  
  <p>Just to clearify:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>I am using a WAMP server (first to test a little bit and later to 
  run it on a VPS) </li>
  <li><strong>Using LAMP or any *nix server/system isn't an option</strong> (due to time, 
  experience and lack of skills) </li>
  <li>I have searched for solutions (on google and stackoverflow), but they are either not working or not clear enough for me (I am new to this)</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Thank you in advance.</p>
