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.

How Can I Delay Something By 10sec's
Anyone got any idea how I could delay part of a script being posted (echoed) for ten seconds ?? I know, I know, WHY would anyone want to delay something for ten seconds. Hows about....just because I do because I'm learning. I'm sure it will have something to do with date or time or something, but I'm pretty brain dead at the moment.

Delay Page - How?
When my users type in a search parameter on my website, I want the search to execute. While it's executing, I want a temporary page to be loaded, with perhaps an advert, and when the search actually completes, the search results are displayed. It's like on orbitz or hotwire, when you search and they show you some messages while it's searching. Any clues on how I'd do that?

Php-myql Delay
I have a script that inserts about 500 rows into a mysql database, but most of the rows don't get entered. When I try with a small amount of data then the program works fine, but when I run it on all 500, then it goes wrong. The INSERT statement is in $q and last three lines in my function are: $res=mysql_query($q); echo "res=".$res; return; The value it prints for $res is "still in process", but the query $q never actually completes.

Ldap_connect() Delay
I have small problem with the ldap_connect() function, it is causing a 2.5-2.7 second delay every time it is called. What is strange is that anything can be passed as an argument, an LDAP server, or just a string of text, as the connection actually occurs at the ldap_bind() stage. The web server is run on a domain controller, so the LDAP server is local. Connecting to the LDAP server from a client machine does not produce a delay. I've isolated the problem to PHP (versions 4.4.4, 4.4.7 and 5.2.3 are affected), as the same results can be reproduced with any LDAP server (or random text) and the server machine. Using PHP on other machines, or Python on the server are not affected by this. Can anyone recommend any way to get some debug output from the ldap_connect() function?

Delay A Response
If the user abandons the landing page (doesn't fill in the additional info) is there a way to automatically email that surfer (based on the email information passed from the Flash ad). I've been grappling with the concept and how I would handle this. Making things happen based on user input is easy. But this needs to react if NO user interaction happens. I have considered simply placing the data sent from the advert in a database for storage, if the user completes the additional form on the landing pages it would complete the data row in the database. I could then check to see if all data was filled in and if the database row only holds name and email, generate an email to the recipient.

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.

How To Delay The Start Of A Function
My problem is that a function in the page have a rather heavy mysql query. The query takes between 6 - 10 seconds. while the query takes place other content on the page stop loading (Opera). Explorer and Firefox seems to wait for the whole page to load befor drawing the site. Is there a way to tell the browser to draw all the content except for this function and run through this at the end, alternatively to run the process in backround? This functionality a want is on many sites who let you search through multiple whois databases.

Sending Emails With Delay
i have 300 subscribers. According to my hostings provider mail policy, i can send 200 emails in one hour. So its 18sec/1email. So what are my possibilities? 1. I can send emails using set_time_limit(0) + sleep(20). 2. Set some cronjob. Using first method, would force me to have browser window opened for ~1.5h... Not an option. So i guess using cronjobs would be the best thing to do here. But how to invoke/destroy cronjobs from a PHP script. I dont have any shell acc and safe_mode is on.

Delay Sending Email
I want to do is provide a web-form for users to input to/from/message so that he can send an email using the form. that part is very easy with mail() but i am trying to add another function where the user can input a delay. So let's say he puts in his email contents and puts in a delay of 20 minutes. I want my server to send that email out after 20 minutes. I have tried searching and I see people suggest cron jobs, which i cannot do cuz my hosting server is limited. I also saw sleep(). But wouldnt sleep() result in my code to continue executing until the delay time is met? because ideally after the user puts in 20 minutes and submit, the website should inform him "mail will be sent in 20minutes" and then return to original page with the form blank again, so if he wants he can submit another job.

After that the script will be redirected to the home page. how can this be done ?

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 &"); ?>

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?

Getting Lengths Of Mp3s Without Huge Time Delay
I have a PHP script which displays all the mp3 files within a folder to users on a webpage. I also have another script which reads through each of these files IDE tag in order to display the length of each file next to its name on the webpage. However this can cause a while for the page to load as it must go thru each file separately and read its tag. I know there are other sites on the web that do this without long page loads....how do they do this? I was thinking there must be a way to go through each file say once a day and then when the user views the page they are just viewing the results of the latest 'crawl'.

Change Part Of A Web Page After X Seconds Delay?
I was asking about how to pass a new array number with a page refresh and someone responded: But what I don't understand is why you want to change images like that on page reload, I have never seen it before. That raised the question to me - if I have written out a web page in PHP that has an image displayed on the page - is there a way to have it change the image every 10 seconds? Could you do this with a For Each or While type loop? I thought once the script was parsed it then wrote the page source and it doesn't change on the screen.

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?
