Hello!

I was wondering if anyone knows/has had experience with using sleep() in a conditional context. For example...

for ($x=0; $x<= 10; $x++) {
        print "$x\n";
        # if x is equal to 5, sleep for 5 seconds
        if ($x == 5) { sleep(5); }
}

What I wanted to accomplish with this loop was to have the iteration run until the condition was met, at which point the loop would sleep for 5 seconds. Is there a way I can accomplish this? When I run the code, above, what actually happens is the entire script/code waits for 5 seconds and *then* launches the loop.

Any advice or direction would be super.

Thanks!

Todd
