This might not be the correct place for this question, if not if
someone could point me in the right direction that would be good.

Ok, let's say you have an html document that calls a php script. Now
the php script doesn't even necessarily have to output any information
to the client, but lets just say that all it does is some very complex
sql stuff involving large tables that takes as long as 10 minutes to
execute. The script includes set_time_limit(1500). Now if someone
views the html page for 10-15 seconds and then closes the page will
the php script continue and execute until completion even though the
client has long since closed the page? Also could this work using
ajax if a javascript script then triggers a php script?

Thanks,
Paul Fisch
