It all depends on the application you have. In some cases its an
advantage and others a disadvantage.
Usually when dealing with credit processing I make sure it is
enabled so if the user presses escape between the time I authorized
the credit card and log the results in a database. It ensures that
I will get the results logged, where if ignore_user_abort() was off
I might not know what the result were from the transaction
Now if I was manually sending a 10MB file to a user and he cancels
the request, I want to be sure and stop the php script. There is
no need for me to send the file anymore and waste precious cpu.
HTH,
Curt
