How can offline processing using CLI PHP help mitigate timeout issues in web applications?

Timeout issues in web applications can occur when a server-side process takes too long to complete, causing the server to terminate the request prematurely. One way to mitigate this issue is by offloading time-consuming tasks to be processed offline using CLI PHP. By running these tasks in the background, the web application can respond quickly to user requests without being affected by long processing times.

// offline_processing.php

// Simulate a time-consuming task
sleep(10);

// Perform the necessary processing here

echo "Offline processing completed successfully.";
```

To run this script using CLI PHP, you can use the following command:

```bash
php offline_processing.php
