Waiting

[hyabusa]

Hi there, I'm pretty sure i've tried most options on this but maybe someone has a method.

Basically i have a script which takes a long time to run, i want to create a delay of 2seconds between each part. I can do this crudely using do..while but this seems to put a lot of strain on the server.

Does anyone know a way of waiting for 2 seconds in a script?

Put that script to [man]sleep/man !! 🙂

make sure you flush before output if your going to use sleep..

flush();
sleep(5);
// whatever...

Thanks so much to both of you, i've been using php for a few years and didn't even know that function existed 🙂
