How can the PHP function ignore_user_abort be utilized to handle long-running scripts?

When a user aborts a request, PHP scripts typically terminate. However, by using the `ignore_user_abort` function, you can instruct PHP to continue running even if the user aborts the request. This can be useful for handling long-running scripts that should not be interrupted by user actions.

// Set ignore_user_abort to true to allow the script to continue running even if the user aborts the request
ignore_user_abort(true);

// Your long-running script code here
// This script will continue running even if the user closes the browser or navigates away
