Note that the function name and description seem to be contradictory:



- ignore_user_abort  (TRUE, I want to ignore the user's abort request)

- Set whether a client disconnect should abort script execution (TRUE, I want to set this behavior)



The function name is the authoritative one: a value of TRUE will ignore the user's abort.

The script should output something to the browser in order to abort. If there is no output the script keeps on running.
