sleep — Delay execution

Description

int sleep ( int $seconds )

Delays the program execution for the given number of seconds.

If the specified number of seconds is negative, this function will generate a E_WARNING.

Changelog

Version Description
5.3.4 Before PHP 5.3.4, on Windows, sleep() always returns NULL when sleep has occurred, regardless of whether the sleep was interrupted or not.
