you can set some session variable or something on file storage or data storage so it will become off when you click on the stop button of your web page.

session_start();
$_SESSION['die']=1;

and try to access the stored variable and check it whether it on/off , if it on than continue to run other wise stop the running code


include("abc.php");
if($_SESSION['die'])
die("Stopped procedure by User");
