Is there a PHP equivalent to setting timeouts in JavaScript?
In JavaScript you can execute code after certain time has elapsed using the set time out function.
Would it be possible to do this in PHP?

The setInterval method has the same syntax as setTimeout : let timerId = setInterval(func|code, [delay], [arg1], [arg2], ...) All arguments have the same meaning. But unlike setTimeout it runs the function not only once, but regularly after the given interval of time.
The setTimeout() method executes a block of code after the specified time. The method executes the code only once. The commonly used syntax of JavaScript setTimeout is: setTimeout(function, milliseconds);
You can pass the parameter to the setTimeout callback function as: setTimeout(function, milliseconds, param1, param2, ...) eg. Yeah!

PHP is single-threaded, and in general PHP is focused on the HTTP request cycle, so this would be tricky to allow a timeout to run code, potentially after the request is done.
I can suggest you look into Gearman as a solution to delegate work to other PHP processes.
