i am writing a script that will show output slowly. like youre reading it over a 300bps modem at 1/4 speed or slower. i can make the script but i must be searching for the wrong terms because i cant seem to find the statement, command whatever that will make a pause or wait or ??

once i know, i can use a while loop to read the input for output. maybe i can use a for loop to make the pause, or is there a better way?

you may be asking why i would do this... its for a website. one thats reallyslow

thanks.

you could try http://www.php.net/sleep

thats kinda what im working for, but as they noted, if someone loaded the page multiple times, it would DoS my server putting many processes to sleep() and thus opening more...

that is a push in the right direction tho. maybe running a page that takes a minute to load might not be good for the server tho, as i was reading the comments on the sleep page, it seems that the page would be served at the slow rate and if someone disconnected, the page would still be served as the server doesnt know that the browser closed or went elsewhere and would continue running the script. maybe the data transfer should be instant but i need something clientside to make it appear slow... its just for making a joke. i got reallyslow.com and have some ideas.

thanks again, but i might need to rethink this lol.
