Re: [PHP] how do I make a script wait ?

2004-04-12 Thread David Risner
There is a default maximum run time for scripts of 30 seconds (it is
max_execution_time in the php.ini file), so unless you have changed this,
you might be running into the maximum run time.

 Is there an easier way to do
 isset($variable) AND $variable != NULL
 ? I use this alot in my if statements, and I was wondering if there's an
 easier way to do it, maybe with a single function? Oh and another
 question... how does if ($variable) work? When does it evaluate true?

Check out the is_null function.  Itd seems to combine the two.
