But I'm also wondering what happens if someone clicks off that tab or closes the browser as soon as they see the text (whatever's been echo'd) - will that kill the process on the server side? Before it's completed whatever it was supposed to do? How do I prevent this?

The process should in most cases execute to the end, but still the best
practice is to execute things first and then give the output, as this
way you can tell that something went wrong and ask the user to redo the
post.
