Use sleep() to make it stop for N seconds. Use usleep() to make it stop for N milliseconds.
| Code: |
<?php
//Sleep for three seconds
sleep(3);
//Sleep another three seconds
usleep(3000000);
//Try outputting some data
echo "Hello ";
//Send the text to the client
flush();
ob_flush();
sleep(2);
//Output "world!" two seconds after "hello".
echo "world!";
?> |
