How can one ensure that child processes continue running while the parent process terminates in PHP?

To ensure that child processes continue running while the parent process terminates in PHP, you can use the pcntl_fork() function to create a child process that runs independently of the parent process. By forking the process, the child process will continue to run even if the parent process terminates. 

$pid = pcntl_fork();

if ($pid == -1) {
    die('Could not fork');
} else if ($pid) {
    // Parent process
    exit(0);
} else {
    // Child process
    // Your child process code here
}
