Does browser stop/crash halts script execution?

Question

I mean, if a php script/page is invoked by a browser and page load/execution is interrupted by user or by browser crash, does script execution continues on the server side?<

Answer 1

You can test this very easily:

echo "sleeping 10 seconds...";
sleep(10); //close your browser at this point
error_log("i'm still here!");

Just check your web server error log for the output.
