If you want to simulate a crontask you must call this script once and it will keep running forever (during server uptime) in the background while "doing something" every specified seconds (= $interval):
<?php
ignore_user_abort(1); // run script in background
set_time_limit(0); // run script forever
$interval=60*15; // do every 15 minutes...
do{
// add the script that has to be ran every 15 minutes here
// ...
sleep($interval); // wait 15 minutes
}while(true);
?>
ignore_user_abort
(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7)
ignore_user_abort — Set whether a client disconnect should abort script execution
설명
int ignore_user_abort
([ bool
$value
] )Sets whether a client disconnect should cause a script to be aborted.
When running PHP as a command line script, and the script's tty goes
away without the script being terminated then the script will die the
next time it tries to write anything, unless
value is set to TRUE
인수
-
value -
If set, this function will set the ignore_user_abort ini setting to the given
value. If not, this function will only return the previous setting without changing it.
반환값
Returns the previous setting, as an integer.
예제
Example #1 A ignore_user_abort() example
<?php
// Ignore user aborts and allow the script
// to run forever
ignore_user_abort(true);
set_time_limit(0);
echo 'Testing connection handling in PHP';
// Run a pointless loop that sometime
// hopefully will make us click away from
// page or click the "Stop" button.
while(1)
{
// Did the connection fail?
if(connection_status() != CONNECTION_NORMAL)
{
break;
}
// Sleep for 10 seconds
sleep(10);
}
// If this is reached, then the 'break'
// was triggered from inside the while loop
// So here we can log, or perform any other tasks
// we need without actually being dependent on the
// browser.
?>
주의
PHP will not detect that the user has aborted the connection until an attempt is made to send information to the client. Simply using an echo statement does not guarantee that information is sent, see flush().
참고
- connection_aborted() - Check whether client disconnected
- connection_status() - Returns connection status bitfield

Comment from Anonymous is not 100% valid. Time from sleep function is not counted to execution time because sleep delays program execution (see http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.sleep.php and comments). We tested it and it's true. Try this:
<?php
set_time_limit(2);
sleep(4);
echo 'hi!';
sleep(4);
echo 'bye bye!';
?>
It means, that if the loop most of the time will be at sleep (and in this case it probably be), then this script may be active for months or years even if you set time limit to one day.

use the spiritual-coder's code below with exreme caution and do not use it unless you are an advanced user.
first of all, such a code with no bypass point can cause infinite loops and ghost threads in server. there must be a trick to break out the loop.
i.e. you can use if (file_exists(dirname(__FILE__)."stop.txt")) break; in the loop so if you create "stop.txt", she script will stop execution.
also if you use set_time_limit(86400); instead of set_time_limit(0); your script will stop after one day.

It seems that this function does not work for IIS servers.

If running a long process and the browser often close the connection, then use this function.

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