I logged in to a remote server via ssh and started a php script. Appereantly, it will take 17 hours to complete, is there a way to break the connection but the keep the script executing? I didn't make any output redirection, so I am seeing all the output.

Using nohup command to Keep Running SSH Sessions If you are not that familiar with screen or tmux, you can use nohup and send your long running command to background so that you can continue while the command will keep on executing in background. After that you can safely log out.
You could move the running process into a background and then run other commands. To do this, you would first type ^z (hold control key and press z). That suspends the process. Then type bg to put the process in the background.
To move foreground jobs in the background, we use the bg command in the Linux system. bg (background) – The bg command is used to move foreground jobs in the background. It resumes execution of a suspended process in the background. If no job is specified, then the bg command work upon the currently running process.
Move a Foreground Process to Background To move a running foreground process in the background: Stop the process by typing Ctrl+Z . Move the stopped process to the background by typing bg .
Can you stop the process right now? If so, launch screen, start the process and detach screen using ctrl-a then ctrl-d. Use screen -r to retrieve the session later.
This should be available in most distros, failing that, a package will definitely be available for you.

ctrl + z
will pause it. Than type
bg
to send it to background. Write down the PID of the process for later usage ;)
EDIT: I forgot, you have to execute
disown -$PID
where $PID is the pid of your process
after that, and the process will not be killed after you close the terminal.
