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.

Resources Used When Using The Sleep() Function
I want to use the Sleep() function in a script that may run multiple times, but i dont want hte system to crash or be overloaded with scripts in memory. When the script enters a sleep mode, what happens to the script? is it resident in memory? if so could i experience the system bogging down if there were 100+ scripts resident in memory or are they just sitting there doing nothing until they run again?

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 &"); ?>

Fsocketopen & Sleep
I'm trying to setup a fsocketopen script to ping a site every 15 minutes or so and if the site is down, send an email. I'm thinking of using ignore_user_abort() to run the script in the background and sleep() for the time intervals. I'm not really sure how to script this out.

Sleep And Max_Execution_Time
I have the following code: $i=0; while($i++<15) { mail("rantsh@hotmail.com",date("d m Y H:i:s"),"This is email # $i "); echo "mandado $i <br>"; sleep(60); } Now, I know my server has a 30 second max_execution_time setting... nonetheless, this code runs successfully!!!. Now, this is actually better for me (for the application I need to run)... Yet I'm concerned of why it's being allowed to run for 15 minutes if max_execution_time is set to 30. Code:

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.

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()?

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);}

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?

Long Sleep() And Time-out's
The script I'm writing needs to wait a random amount of time (1-300s) between each iteration of a loop, eg. while(condition) { do something //wait between 1s and 5 minutes sleep(rand(1,300)); } Problem is, a browser times out if it doesn't get an answer within about 30 seconds. Is the idea of having a PHP script sleep for a longer amount of time incompatible with web applications? Any work-around?

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?

Function Inside A Class Function Dont Pass Variables...
Im using xajax class, and i just made a custom class called mantenimientos that use objects of this xajax class. Something like this: class mantenimiento { public $titulo; public $ajax_sRequestURL; function __construct($titulo,$ajax_url){ $this->titulo = $titulo; $this->ajax_sRequestURL = $ajax_url; } function exec_ajax(){ //Here i can use $this with no problem $xajax = new xajax($this->ajax_sRequestURL); $xajax->registerFunction("call_fun"); //I have to do this to have acces to the class itself when im inside a function global $mant ; $mant = $this; function call_fun(){ //next line give me access to the mantenimiento class properties. //I havent found other way of doing it. global $mant; $objResponse = new xajaxResponse(); $objResponse->addAlert('XAJAX CALLED:'.$mant->titulo); return $objResponse->getXML(); } $xajax->processRequests(); } My problem is that $mant->titulo lost it value when i im inside the funciton, but only when that value comes from other var. for example: if i do this: $mant = new mantenimiento('This is the title','index.php'); or $titulo = 'This is the title' $mant = new mantenimiento($titulo,'index.php'); When i execute the xajax_call_fun, it shows an alert box with the text "XAJAX CALLED:This is the title" but if i do something like this: $titulo = gettitulo_from_database(); or $titulo = $_POST['titulo']; The alert box show the mensaje with out the value of the $mant->titulo Im getting crazy with this....!

Address Of Function Or A Virtual Function
Is there some way to implement something like a virtual function or have something like a user defined function ? One solution I thought might work: store a reference (address) of a function in a variable and call it later if that variable has been set ? This seems to compile OK, but produces funny results. Is this outside the scope of php ? function testfn() { .... return $result; } $myfn = &testfn; // set it too the address of the function .... if (isset($myfn)) $result = @$myfn(); // call my function

Mail() Function - Using The Mail() Function To Send Emails To Members Of A Website
I am using the mail() function to send emails to members of a website.

I figured this out by trial and error - once I removed those words, it worked. I am running cPanel on the server and have no problem sending emails as long as they don't use those words. It seems to be blocking certain words - ones that I assume spammers would use.
