You cant run something via PHP when someone "leaves" the page - because the browser nevers sends anything to your server to trigger the script.

You only possible option is to use javascript and run it as they leave - but its going to be temperamental and unreliable at best.

You can use Javascript and Ajax. Javascript: Intercept page exit event Ajax - http://www.w3schools.com/ajax/default.asp

Edit: I don't think that you can do it without unload, php is a server-side language, not user-side.
