This is true, but this is not the right place to ask for support.
There's no persistent connection between PHP and your client's
browser, so there's no way to communicate a browser close event unless
something is generated client-side. Same thing with Alvaro's ping
suggestions. I'd try an AJAX or JavaScript group. They should be
able to give you information that's more likely to be reliable across
a variety of browsers.

For example, how can you tell I closed the browser when my browser is
Lynx? :)
