Running function in the background? [message #176576]

I have a site where users can download files, and I want to enable the
users to request files by email. Some of those files are big (not too
big for email attachements).

What I would like to have the user be able to do is to click on a file
and have it emailed to him, but the user shouldn't have to wait for the
emailing function to finish (tens of seconds some time) and continue
browsing and clicking on other files to email or even leave the site
confident that they'll receive the files in their email later.

So I would like the emailing functionality to happen in the background
and independent from the connection to the browser.

Is this possible? Is it doable in PHP directly?
