loop timing

[mraza]

hi ! is it possible if i have a loop like below, lets say if it runs one time then it will wait for one minute and then continue.  :

for ($i=0;$i<10;$i++){
//statments
echo $i;
}

means on first it will give out put 0 then wait for one minute then output 1 then wait one minute again and output 2 so on...

maybe stupid question but ... Thanks for the support

You can use php's sleep() function. 1 minute is a little long though, and you could end up DDOSing your own server if you have this on a page that a lot of people visit

Thanks so its useless for me it could use too much resources  but what if i use only i visit and use that script?

If you are the only one that visits that page, then I guess it would be OK. Why do you want to make the server sleep for a minute tho? I can't really think of a reason that this would be beneficial

nothing special just was curious what can't be done with PHP..

PHP scripts needn't necessarily be run through a web server.
