exit - PHP script continues after closing / stopping page

Question

Seems php scripts continue even after closing or stopping a page.

for example, if my script is run by /localhost/test.php

after I close the page, sometimes it continues to run. I'm pretty sure restarting apache clears it out but is there a better way to terminate the php script after it's started.

check this out: http://php.net/manual/en/function.ignore-user-abort.php

Sets whether a client disconnect should cause a script to be aborted.
