Let script finish even users close their browser

[duzhidian]

Hello All,

I am using Linux, php and mysql.

When I run my script, it will take a very long time. So when users
close their browsers, my scripts stop either. What I want to do is let
the script continue running and send an email at the end.

How can I successfully do that?

Thanks.

Hi,

Are you sure your script stops running when the client closes the browser?
That surprises me, because AFAIK the server is working on a request and has
no open line to the state of the visitors browser.

I expect that your script finishes just fine, both when the browser windows
is closed or leaved open.

So, are you sure this is happening?

If the browser is closed whilst the script is still processing, then the
server *will* know about this, because the TCP connection will be
terminated.

Oki, That's clear.
Your link also contains the answer the OP was looking for. :-)
