Hello Todd, It's weird, because I tried your piece of code and it work the way you expect it to work: Print 0 to 5, wait 5 seconds print 6 to 10.

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!
