RE: [PHP] sleep function
You could try sending all the data to the client at once then achieving the delay effect with JavaScript perhaps? That way, you are not reliant on external factors like connection speed.

Well the reason it worked on my site is because my webhost uses linux, and my localhost is windows. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] sleep function
Hi,
I want to create a script that displays all names from a database once per
second.
A part of the script look like this.
for ($i=0; $i$total_names; $i++)
{
echo namebr;
sleep (1);
}
The scipt works fine but it displays all names at once. I want to display the
first name, then refresh the browser and display the first name and the second,
then the first name, the second and the third and so on.
Can someone please tell me how can i do this?
Right before your sleep(1) function add:
flush();
This should do it. Depends on how your webserver buffers things and if
there's any proxy servers, etc. in the way.

Thanks in advance for your help !!!
You're gonna have to use output buffering... I have never used it so
I'm no expert, but I figured I could point you in the right direction.

Okay... the difference is between Apache + PHP for windows, and Apache + PHP for unix... it works on linux / unix... but not on windows... check it out. http://www.jamwil.com/misc/flush.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Sleep Function
It is exactly what you need. And you can lower the sleep time, I think 1 or 2 seconds are just enough. Glenn Gasner wrote: The php.net documentation for the sleep and usleep functions has me confused. I'm using shared hosting and I need to email my whole mailing list while not clogging the shared mail server. What I'm trying to do is put a pause between each email sent (like 10 seconds) so I can set it up to send a thousand (or whatever) messages without manually putting time between batches. My guess is that I should put a line with sleep(10); inside the mail sending loop so that it pauses between notes. However, the Jan-17 note on the usleep function mentions that these kinds of loops can consume 100% of CPU while running. The Jan-29 note on the time() function says that sleep uses way less CPU than wait(). I don't know how to test CPU usage of any PHP function. Is sleep() really so CPU intensive that I should avoid it, is there a better function to use, or is it exactly what I need and it'll be no problem even on a shared server? Thanks!

Is output_buffering = On set in the php.ini file? If it is set to on, no content or headers are sent back to the browser until the whole page has been processed by PHP. Best Regards, Patrick Lynch.
