Since you've provided absolutely no details of the process in question, it is impossible to say. However, if I make an assumption that the progress bar is controlled through AJAX, I assume your concern is what happens if responses from the service are no longer sent or return an error.

 

The back end process should have error handling implemented in order to return an error if one is detected and the AJAX code should look for those and respond appropriately.

 

However, if the PHP script just fails with some unhanded error you should get some response. Again, the AJAX code needs to try an detect that and respond accordingly.

 

Lastly, if the back end service just doesn't respond then you can implement a timer on the JavaScript side to include a timer. If no response is returned in a specified time provide an error condition.
