Which version of PHP? I just tested it and it works just fine for me.
How exactly do you know the script is not finishing? Try a test like
this:
<?
ignore_user_abort(1);
$fp = fopen('/tmp/test','w');
for($i=0; $i<30; $i++) {
echo "Line $i<br>\n";
flush();
fputs($fp,"Line $i\n");
fflush($fp);
sleep(1);
}
?>
Load up this file. You should see it start writing lines to your browser.
If you hit the stop button and break the connection with your server you
will of course stop seeing the output from the script, but if you do a
"tail -f /tmp/test" you should be able to see that the script is indeed
still running as it keeps writing line numbers to this file.
Or did you perhaps think that turning on ignore_user_abort would prevent
the user from disconnecting from the server?? There is absolutely no way
to do that. He could simply pull his network cable, have a power failure,
get frustrated and chuck his computer out the window... We don't have a
PHP function that can prevent this.
