Hey guys I was practicing PHP and I am stuck.
I have an HTML file where I used the JS fetch function to take the user's email id and send it to register.php, which checks whether this email is saved in db or not.
If not, it will save it into db, and I have to verify it by sending a email to that email id. Soo what I have done is write code for sending a verification mail in register.php, but as register.php is kind of an API, executing mail verification functionality will timeout on the js side. So my question is: is there any way such that i write mail verification functionality in another PHP file, which executes if there is no email address stored in DB, with register.php triggering that file?
I thought about having js trigger the other php file once register.php responds, but I don't want to do that. If anyone has any keywords on which I can research to do this task that's also fine.

The register.php file:
<?php
header('Content-type: application/json');
header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *');
header('Access-Control-Allow-Methods: POST');
header('Access-Control-Allow-Headers: Content-type,Access-Control-Allow-Origin,Access-Control-Allow-Methods');
require dirname(__DIR__).'/_private/definations.php';
$recieved = file_get_contents('php://input');
$recieved = json_decode($recieved,true);
$message = '';
$success = false;
$input_email = $recieved['user_email'];
if(isset($input_email)){
if($input_email){
if($input_email == htmlentities($input_email,ENT_QUOTES)){
if(filter_var($input_email,FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)){
if($input_email == filter_var($input_email, FILTER_SANITIZE_EMAIL)){
if(!searchEmailIntoDB($input_email)){
if(putEmailIntoDB($input_email)){
$message = "$input_email is subscribed successfully";
$success = true;
}else{
$message = 'we are facing issues\nplease try again later';
reportIssue();
}
}else{
$message = "$input_email is already subscribed";
}
}else{
$message = 'Please remove special characters from your email id\n-except @ ';
}
}else{
$message = 'Please enter valid Email Address ';
}
}else{
$message = 'Please remove following characters from your email id\n <,>,",\',&';
}
}else{
$message = 'Email feild can not be empty';
}
}
$ret = [
'message' => $message
];
echo json_encode($ret);
require dirname(__DIR__).'/_private/Email.php';
$subject = 'Email verification for XKCD webComics';
mailer($input_email,$subject,$body);
?>
(see the echo, below echo statements - all the code is for mail verification leads to timeouts, which I want to move in another php file so that it runs independently)
