I was wondering about the lifespan of a PHP script when called via Ajax. Assume that there is a long-running (i.e. 30 seconds) PHP script on a server and that page is loaded via Ajax. Before the script completes, the user closes the browser. Does the script continue running to completion, is it terminated, or is this a function of the server itself (I’m running Apache fwiw). Thanks for any help.
The script will continue running. Closing the browser on the client does not notify the server to stop processing the request.
