Asynchronous method exec in PHP

I need to start an asynchronous method call in PHP but have no idea or clue in how to achieve this. The big idea is as follow:

public myfunctionAction() {
    // normal flow
    // execute the asynchronous call (WS)
    // continue normal flow
}

How I do that? Can any provide a simple example just to use as a start point? It's possible to leave the asynchronous call executing on the background and continue the normal flow?

I'm using Symfony 2.6.x as development framework if that helps a little

1 - You can use curl in php with a low time out
2 - You can use popen to start a batch or script shell without waiting the response : like pclose(popen("ws_start.sh"));

Hope that helps :)
