Hello,
Check out this code

Code:

<?php

$lgn = time();
$gtusr = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE `users`.`id` = '$MyId'");
$usrinf = mysql_fetch_assoc($gtusr);
$lstlgn = $usrinf['lstlgn'] - $lgn;

echo "Logged in as: " . $usrinf['username'];
echo "Last logged in: " . $lstlgn;
echo "PMs: ".$unread." unread, ".$read." read";

Hello,
Try this code, though I am not sure that this is what you need

Code:

<?php
if(!$sql){
echo 'There has been an Error for Submitting your request. Please Contact the Web Master.';
}else{
echo "Hello <u><b>".$name."</b></u>";
echo '<br/><hr>Thank you';
echo '<br/><br/>process is under request 
sleep(5);
echo '<script><!-- window.location= "addresshere" //--></script>';
}

Hello,
Just try this

Code:

<?php

this is the current time
echo date('h:s:i') . "\n";

time seconds for 10 
sleep(10);

this is where you wake up 
echo date('h:s:i') . "\n";

?>

Hello,
If you need then you can have a look at the following code

Code:

function stopWatch($total = false,$reset = true){
    global $frscld;
    global $lstcld;
    $nwtm = microtime(true);
    if ($lstcld === null) {
        $lstcld = $nwtm;
        $frscld = $nwtm;
    }
    if ($total) {
        $time_diff = $nwtm - $frscld;
    } else {
        $time_diff = $nwtm - $lstcld;
    }
    if ($reset)
        $lstcld = $nwtm;
    return $time_diff;
}

Hello,
Alternatively you can try this

Code:

<?php
srt();

ob_implicit_flush(true);
//[ OR ] echo "..."; flsh(); flush();

set_time_limit(0);

function sleep_echo($secnds) {
    $secnds = (int) $secnds;
    $buff = str_repeat(".", 4096);
    //echo $buff."\r\n<br />\r\n";
    for ($i=0; $i<$secnds; $i++) {
        echo date("H:i:s", time())." (".($i+1).")"."\r\n<br />\r\n".$buff."\r\n<br />\r\n";
        flsh();
        flush();
        sleep(1);
        //usleep(1000000);
    }
}

Hello,
Just take a look at the following code

Code:

<?php sip(0.5); ?>

<?php
function sip($scnds)
{
    $scnds = abs($scnds);
    if ($scnds < 1):
       usleep($scnds*1000000);
    else:
       sleep($scnds);
    endif;   
}
?>
