function batch_process

Processes the batch.

Unless the batch has been marked with 'progressive' = FALSE, the function issues a backdrop_goto and thus ends page execution.

This function is generally not needed in form submit handlers; Form API takes care of batches that were set during form submission.

Parameters

$redirect: (optional) Path to redirect to when the batch has finished processing.

$url: (optional - should only be used for separate scripts like update.php) URL of the batch processing page.

$redirect_callback: (optional) Specify a function to be called to redirect to the progressive processing page. By default backdrop_goto() will be used to redirect to a page which will do the progressive page. Specifying another function will allow the progressive processing to be processed differently.
