Name

ignore_user_abort()

Synopsis

    int ignore_user_abort ( [bool enable] )

The ignore_user_abort() function allows your script to carry on working after the user has cancelled her request. Passing true as its only parameter will instruct PHP that the script is not to be terminated, even if your end user closes her browser, has navigated away to another site, or has clicked Stop. This is useful if you have some important processing to do and you do not want to stop it even if your users click cancel, such as running a payment through on a credit card. You can also pass false to ignore_user_abort(), thereby making PHP exit when the user closes the connection.

    ignore_user_abort(true);
    // carry on if user clicks Stop in their browser
