Semi-Break a loop

[scraff]

Hi Guys, sure you can help me.

I am using a WHILE loop, sometimes this has to pull thousands of records from a table, and it stops the whole website from working for a minute or two. I am wondering if there is some way to, at the start or end of each loop, to allow the server to do other commands that are waiting.

While($x<2000){

$x = $x + 1;
Some_Command_to_Allow_Other_Jobs();

}

There is a command in Visual Basic that allows this.

And questions just ask

If you just want to release some CPU cycles for other processes, you could throw in a [man]usleep/man or [man]sleep/man there.
