Use sleep() or usleep()

 

<?php
$var = 10; // or whatever you want it to be
sleep($var); // 10 seconds
usleep($var); // 10 micro seconds
?>

 

Hope it helps,

that's a little different to what your initial post implied 

 

I should imagine you would do this using a date calculation, eg current post time and last post time...here is some sample date difference code which you may be able to adapt and then include an if statement, for example, to ensure last post was not less than 10 seconds ago.

 

<?php
//time difference 
$today = strtotime("now");
$logged_day = strtotime("$system_date"); //this is the date the call was logged
$timediff_sec = $today - $logged_day; //time difference in seconds
$timediff = $timediff_sec/86400; //86400 seconds in a day therefore dividing by this give no of days
$timediff = floor($timediff); //round down otherwise will appear one day older than actually is
?>
