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.

If at first you don't succeed, stick to what you know best so that you
can make enough money to pay someone else to do it for you.
