[Man-wai Chang]

If a user hit stop button on his/her browser after a php has started,
will the php script be continued to the end?

Yes it should. The server has no knowledge of wether the user has pressed
stop on their browser.

Don't present a misconception as truth. It depends on the length of the
script, and the server _does_ know about aborted connections. Or did you
think the server kept sending you those xxx MB's of data you aborted to
download after the first 4KB was received? That's why we have functions
like:

http://www.php.nl/ignore_user_abort

http://www.php.nl/connection_status

http://www.php.nl/connection_aborted

In short: if you have a longer scrit and it's critical it will run untill
the end, use ignore_user_abo rt().

HTH,
