How to get a script to pause every x minutes, for x minutes

[devWhiz]

Example script,

 

<?php

$Var = "test";

for($i=1; $i!=-1; $i++)
{
echo "#$i: ".$Var."\n";
}
?>

 

How could I make that script pause for 15 minutes for every 30 minutes to 1 hour, have it randomly choose how long to wait before it pauses, and then wait for 15-30 minutes

you cannot do this through a web server, however you could do this through CLI, and you would use the sleep function.
