Sleep() Affects The Variables?
could it be that the sleep() function affects my variables? When I set a very long delay time (1-3 hours) in my CronJob PHP4 script (of couse with a big set_time_limit) some of my variables go lost! But there's no problem with short times in the sleep-function (1-5 min).
set_time_limit(86400);
for($x=1;$x<5;$x++) {
echo $x; //$x will be shown only one time
sleep(7200);}

Setting That Affects Scope
I am taking over the management of an existing website. I have established a machine which is local to me with the same version of php (4.3.10-16) and mysql. One big difference is on the local machine, I am running apache 2.0 while on the hosted site, I am using apache. Is there a php setting which affects the scope of variables? One of the hosted pages uses several $vars and works perfectly. On my local version, these vars are undefined.

PHP Sleep()
I've been sitting for quite a while now, reading the sleep() manual and tried to turn the code upside down and inside out but nothing helps... I want the current page to wait a few seconds before it is directed to another ( after a successfull registration ). So i thought the best way to do that is to use sleep(). However, this does work to a certain point ... the current page waits for 5 seconds, but the text I want to show the user in the meantime doesn't show? Why? Without the sleep() and the header() it shows without any problem. Code:

Sleep()
I tried to make a script which would print a line of text at 1 line per second or whatever time i put. So i went ahead and tried this. PHP Code: echo "Passwords match."; sleep(1); echo "Passwords match."; sleep(1); echo "Passwords match."; sleep(1); echo "Passwords match."; This is a example and the text in echo has no meaning. However the sleep waits and waits for all the other sleeps to finish and then prints out all text at once.

PHP Messaging And Sleep
I would like to get my php script to send a message to a user for example to notify that a DB update or insert has been successful or not. After that the script will be redirected to the home page. how can this be done ? I have tried using sleep(5) to delay the script but that does not work the way that I want it to since it simply delays the execution of the ENTIRE script RATHER than a part of it !!

Sleep() In The Background
how much the sleep() which is set to no limit can consume the system resource. Could it cause to hang the server? I tried the following and couldnot see the server got busy. Although the browser seemed to be so, if I access to a different page, it responded very quick as usual. It's not a big deal, is it? sleep.php PHP Code: <?php set_time_limit(0); sleep(0); ?> fork_sleep.php PHP Code: <?php $str = "php -f sleep.php"; exec("$str > /dev/null &"); ?>

Would I Use Sleep To Delay
I am making a site for a friend, but with his PHP it always renders too quick and I would like it to wait a bit for the rest of the page to load, otherwise its a bunch of annoying gaps and whacked alignment as the CSS and images load and it all just looks annoying as it loads. And it takes away from the order of of information outputted as it goes through the PHP when your focused on the tripped out layout.

Sleep Function
I'm playing about with delaying results of a PHP program. I want to print some results then wait for a few seconds and print some more. I have found the php sleep function however have a small problem. <?php echo ("The time in 3 seconds from page loading: "); sleep(3); echo date('h:i:s') . " "; ?> The above script is meant to print the top line, wait 3 seconds and print the bottom line. Infact, it starts, waits 3 seconds and prints all at once. Now from my understand from php.net it should not sleep untill it hits the sleep command in there.

Session Timeout, Use Of Sleep Ect...
I have a custom script that uses sessions to track UID's. The only problem I have with the script is that the session times out in 1440 (min?) which I believe is 24 min. I was thinking that I could use php's sleep to hold off from doing a refresh until minute 20. Unfortunately, I have also read that using sleep can leave a server open to a DoS attack. I do not have access to the php.ini file to be able to change the timeout variable for the session. What is the best way to keep a session open without changing the .ini variable. Is sleep a good way do go about it, and if so, are there significant security risks in using sleep()?

Need To Flush Before Sleep But I'm Blank.
I'm new to php and am converting a bunch of asp pages to php. Current problem : I am using a Submit button on a form to POST ( send the database variables ) to a php page that will send a personalised e-mail to each client. On the php page, I am looping through a database, compiling a message ( html format ), and mailing the message to my client. After the mail has been sent, I need to wait for 4 seconds before continuing with the next database record. I am using this code after the mail has been sent : echo "Mail Sent to : " . $row['CliName']; ob_flush(); flush(); sleep(4); Problem is, that nothing appears after I click on the Submit button on the first page's form ( the first page just remains on the screen ). Once the database has been looped, the entire (correct) output appears on my screen - but I need to see some sort of progress as it works it's way through the database.

Sleep() And Browser Load.
is there a way to get around the browser continually acting like they are loading when using sleep()? It says the page is still loading but it really isn't because we are causing a delay for some data on purpose with php. So it is for an intentional reason that we cause it. Many of us like using sleep(). Anyway to do it without the browsers showing the page is still loading? There must be a way, so many programmers for intense programming use sleep(), I can't imagine they have to deal with the browsers loading prompts whenever they do.

Staggering Execution With Sleep()
For my site, currently in development, I will be hosting some latest RSS picks from friend websites. To start with there will only be a couple, but eventually I hope to be sourcing from up to 50 partner blogs. Obviously, i dont want to make a request on every page load, so I would instead cache data from the past half hour/hour. I will be using CRON to schedule an update every so often, but having a single script making 50 requests one after the other then processing and storing the data may be taxing, especially if the outside server is slow. I thought about using sleep() to leave gaps between each request so that a sudden hogging of resources doesnt happen every hour. What are your views on this method? Is it feasable (and possibly even a good idea), or should I just get it all to execute in one go?

Require_once And Fatal Errors... Automatic Sleep And Try Again Anyone?
I have a PHP page which loads OK 80% of the time. However the rest of the time I get the following error: Fatal error: Failed opening required 'DB.php' This really bugs me, especially since the only reason this is happeneing seems to be due to server load. I would like to add code so that instead of displaying the given error, the PHP code makes the HTTP response thread simply sleep a little bit (say 4 seconds), and then retry, and repeat until the file can be opened. It seems strange to me that server load would prevent the file from being opened. Anyhow, any ideas on how I can improve the situation?

Functions Can Recognize My Global Variables Without Sending These Variables As Parameters In The Function Headers?
If I define a variable $var, and then define a function Func(), then I can't use the variable $var inside the function because the variable is defined outside the function. If I want to use the variable $var inside the function, then I have to send it as a parameter in the function header like this, Func($var). But the problem is that I have many global variables, and many function. I don't want to pass all these variables to all the functions! Isn't there a way that the functions can recognize my global variables without sending these variables as parameters in the function headers?

Convert $_GET Variables To Regular Variables? About 10 Times
Do you guys always convert your GET and/or POST variables to regular variables $variable = foo;? On a page, I'm using a GET variable about 10 times, would it be more efficient to convert it to a regular variable (I'm sure there's a name for this type of variable) at the beginning? Does it have anything to do with load on the PHP (interpreter, like it goes to check the variable from the URL every time, which is maybe more of a strain than from the document itself), or just mere file size?

Same Named Variables.. Or Addressing Variables In A Loop
I'm just starting to program in PHP.. fairly new to programming in general... and I've run across a (probably simple) programming problem I hope someone can help me with. I'm sending variable names through an HTTP get that are generated through a foreach loop. The names are along the lines of name1=, begin1=, end1=, name2=, begin2=, end2=.. etc. The number is the number of the current cycle through the loop. My problem is addressing the variables on the next page... namely how do I evaluate those variables in a loop?

Persistant Variables - Application Variables
In the books I have read about PHP I haven't been able to find any descriptions of how to set variables that persist in the servers memory, in the way that Application variables persist in Cold Fusion. In CF, if I set an application variable then any of the application pages that are run will have access to those variables. And you can put complex arrays of data in the Application Variables and then access these variables at any time, without having to reload those variables for each page when it loads. I expect you can do this is PHP, but I can't find any info about how to do this.

Variables That Change Session Variables
I'm currently writing a mulit-page form app that uses a session to retain data from each form element in order for the user to jump between pages, then the final data is passed to a calculation script. However, I've noticed that if I assign a session variable to another variable, which then performs a mathematical calculation, the session variable changes. i.e. $_SESSION["inflation"] = 4; $temp_inf = $_SESSION["inflation"]; if ($_SESSION["inflation"] =="RPI") { $inflation = $rpi;} else {$inflation = ($temp_inf/100.0);} now it equals = 0.04 How can I take a value from a session and perform operations on it without altering the original session value.

Form Variables To Session Variables
I am writing a small script that consists of two pages: page one displays a bunch of values from a DB (ie. First Name, Last Name, Phone Number). On this page you will find a form that follows this format: <input type="text" name="edit_firstname" size="20" maxlength="35" value='Bob'> <input type="text" name="edit_lastname" size="20" maxlength="35" value='Smith'> <input type="text" name="edit_phone" size="20" maxlength="35" value='5552222'> So when you see the page there will already be a 'default' value in each line (which is information extracted from a DB). This works perfectly and has been tested thoroughly. On the second page I have the following code: $editfirstname = $_POST['edit_firstname']; $editlastname = $_POST['edit_lastname']; $editphone = $_POST['edit_phone']; What I am trying to do is this: the default value for edit_firstname from the form is 'Bob' by default, but the user can change this in the input field on the first page. This value, whether changed or unchanged, should then be stored as edit_firstname and by calling up the function $_POST[''] on the second page I want to transfer the value to the variable $editfirstname. However, it seems that $_POST['edit_firstname'] and the other fields do not return a value at all, hence $editfirstname = '' or $editfirstname = 'NULL'. I have never tried to do things this way before.
