I have a .php script that I use for creating the list of my products. I am on shared hosting, so I can't do a lot of queries otherwise I get a blank page.
This is how I use my script now:
script.php?start=0&end=500&indexOfFile=0 ->> make a product0.txt file with first 500 products script.php?start=501&end=1000&indexOfFile=1 ->> product1.txt file with another 500 products script.php?start=1001&end=1500&indexOfFile=2 ->> product2.txt file with last 500 products How can I modify the script so it will make all these files automatically, so that I don't have to change each time the link manually?
I would like to click a button which will do this:
make the product0.txt file with the first 500 products
wait 5 seconds
make the product1.txt file with with another 500 products
wait 5 seconds
make the product2.txt file with the last 500 products

The sleep() function in PHP is an inbuilt function which is used to delay the execution of the current script for a specified number of seconds. The sleep( ) function accepts seconds as a parameter and returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
PHP is single-threaded, which means that it executes one instruction at a time before moving on. In other words, PHP naturally waits for a function to finish executing before it continues with the next statement.
Using pcntl_alarm... Alternatively, if you have the Process Control support enabled in your build of PHP, you might be able to use pcntl_alarm to call a signal handler after a certain amount of time has elapsed.
How we can use the PHP's exit function to stop the execution of remaining code. exit is usually used right after sending final output to a browser, or to stop a script in case there was an error. When exit is used it will stop code-execution completely and exit PHP.
use:
sleep(NUMBER_OF_SECONDS); before starting your actions, use
sleep(5); If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
