How To Use setInterval in PHP?

Question

I want to ask that how can i use php function again and again after some time automatically just like setInterval in Javascript. We set the time and it is on its job until t

Answer 1

For the record: I think it's bad idea. But whatever :)

Try this code

function setInterval($f, $milliseconds)
{
    $seconds=(int)$milliseconds/1000;
    while(true)
    {
        $f();
        sleep($seconds);
    }
}

Usage:

setInterval(function(){
    echo "hi!\n";
}, 1000);

Or:

$a=1; 
$b=2;

setInterval(function() use($a, $b) {
    echo 'a='.$a.'; $b='.$b."\n";
}, 1000);
