SLEEP(3) 1 SLEEP(3)
sleep - Delay execution
SYNOPSIS
int sleep (int $seconds)
DESCRIPTION
Delays the program execution for the given number of $seconds.
PARAMETERS
o $seconds
- Halt time in seconds.
RETURN VALUES
Returns zero on success, or FALSE on error.
If the call was interrupted by a signal, sleep(3) returns a non-zero value. On Windows, this value will always be 192 (the value of the
WAIT_IO_COMPLETION constant within the Windows API). On other platforms, the return value will be the number of seconds left to sleep.
ERRORS
/EXCEPTIONS
If the specified number of $seconds is negative, this function will generate a E_WARNING.

| | Description |

+--------+---------------------------------------------------+
| 5.3.4 | |
| | |
| | Before PHP 5.3.4, on Windows, sleep(3) always |
| | returns NULL when sleep has occurred, regardless |
| | of whether the sleep was interrupted or not. |

EXAMPLES
Example #1
sleep(3) example
<?php
// current time
echo date('h:i:s') . "
";
// sleep for 10 seconds
sleep(10);
// wake up !
echo date('h:i:s') . "
";
?>
This example will output (after 10 seconds)
05:31:23
05:31:33
