What are some potential solutions for ensuring that a PHP script continues execution after sending data to another script using cURL?

After sending data to another script using cURL, the calling PHP script may not continue execution if the called script takes a long time to process the data. One solution is to use cURL's `CURLOPT_TIMEOUT` option to set a timeout for the request. Another solution is to use `ignore_user_abort(true)` to prevent the script from being terminated if the user aborts the request.

// Set a timeout for the cURL request
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://example.com/other-script.php');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 30); // Set timeout to 30 seconds
$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

// Prevent script from being terminated if user aborts the request
ignore_user_abort(true);

// Continue with the rest of the PHP script
// Your code here...
