I would recommend:

  • in your looping script,at each loop, test for a session variable or a persisted value of any type (file, db) that would store a cancel flag. if this flag is set,break the loop this would abort the processing.

  • create another script (cancel.php) for example, that will set this cancel flag in the storage (session,file or db). this cancel script will be called via your ajax request.(of course , if you used session to store the cancel flag, don't forget to pass the same sessionid than your looping script as parameter of your ajax request)
