running part of php file asynchronously

Question

I would like to run part of php code asynchronously. I want to run the insertnumber() function after 60seconds but without delaying the whole code.

 echo json_encode($returnArray);
 if ($timeout=="1")
{
  sleep(60);
  $connection->insertnumber($finalnumber,"Loser");
}

This method delay the whole code by 60 secs. I want that part of the code to run in the background without affecting the original code and then executing the insernumber() function after 60 secs.

PHP by default runs synchronously. Have a look at the following question which has a few different methods on how to run PHP asynchronously, using either PHP OOP Threads or some built it PHP Process methods:

Additionally, if you are building something that will be running in the browser, have a look at using Javascript asynchronous functions to achieve what you desire:
