Browser STOP button kills process

[barryp]

Please advise a newbie
'Browser STOP button kills process'
Yes - its supposed to
How can I avoid it

I have a web page where clients select areas of interest from a LONG list. On submit I run PHP/MySQL to generate an email response. If the user moves on, or presses STOP 'cos I'm taking too long to get back with 'AllDone' the process never completes.(Of course).
How can I overcome this ? Can I, from PHP, create another process (using NOHUP maybe) ?

What you want is to set ignore_user_abort to true in php.ini, or use the function ignore_user_abort(true).
