Abort php script

I successfully zip a folder through the following code:

$('#test').click(function(){
    $.ajax({
        method:'post',
        url:site+'/home/test',
        data:{item_name:item_name,ext:ext},
        success:function(result){}
    });
});

public function test(){
    $item_name=$this->input->post('item_name');
    $ext=$this->input->post('ext');
    shell_exec('cd zip_folder/; zip -r '.$item_name.'.'.$ext.' '. $item_name);
    echo '1';
}

But I have a problem when the folder is very large, like 1GB, it takes a lot to zip and I can't make more requests until the end of script. I want to give the possibility of being able to cancel the process using a cancel button. I already tried xhr.abort() but without success. Even when I press f5 the site stays in loading until the zip is complete. I would also like to know if pressing f5 is possible to cancel this script.

You can try get all the running process and identify the one zipping files and then kill the process. All with shell_exec.
