Maybe.

http://php.net/ignore_user_abort

 I'd rather the php continue behind the scenes to fullfill all the
 actions I need it do to whether the user wants to see if happen or
 not.

 Overall I wonder how modphp keeps the code executing even if the
 browser
 drops the connection via stop.

 Any insight is greatly appreciated.

If you want to be 100% sure something gets done, then don't do it. :-)

Set up a task to be done later, and put that in the DB, and then
have a cron job to run through the tasks and do them, and mark them
done or not.

The fact you are asking indicates that you've got something that takes
too long for a user to wait around anyway, and that's another reason
to just insert a task and act on it later.

Don't make a human wait for a slow computer, ever.

You may also want to look into ignore_user_abort(), Eric.
