sleep or setTimeout

[mb_chris]

i'm just wondering if php has some kind of sleep or setTimeout function like in perl or javascript.

How about sleep() (http://us2.php.net/sleep) ;)

sounds good to me.

i have been looking through documentation and have had trouble finding it.

i would imagine that the argument to sleep() is the number of seconds. correct??

Yes, sleep is in seconds. If you need less than a second delay, look at usleep() (http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.usleep.php).
