Wait a second...

[Anon]

I'm trying to get my script wait a few seconds before continuing. I've tried the sleep() and usleep() functions but they make the script wait for the set amount of time when the page loads, which isn't what I want.

I'm looking for something like this:

echo "Something..." ;
Wait(3seconds);
echo "Something more.." ;
Wait(3seconds);
echo "Something else.." ;

and so on...

Can anyone help?
I've also tried timeout() function in Javascipt, but my Java skills are not very high...

All help appricated!

Try this which works for me
<?php
echo $var = " <p> I am now at the start of page </p>";
flush();
echo $var = " <p> I am now at step 1 </p>";
flush();
echo $var = " <p> I am now sleeping for 3 secs </p>";
flush();
sleep(3);
echo $var = " <p> Awake after 3 secs </p>";
flush();
sleep(3);
echo $var = " <p> Second Awake after 3 secs </p>";
?>

Or use ob_implicit_flush()
