ignore_user_abort

Definition and usage

ignore_user_abort() function sets whether disconnecting from the client will terminate the execution of the script.

This function returns the previous value set by user-abort (a boolean value).

Tip: PHP does not detect whether the user is disconnected until it tries to send a message to the client. Simply using echo statements cannot ensure that information is sent, see the flush() function.

Example

Set to false (default) - Client abortion will cause the script to stop running:

 <?php
ignore_user_abort ( ) ;
?>

Output:

 0
