I wanted have this as part of a flood control script:
<?
echo ("Flood control in place - please wait " . $floodinterval . " seconds
between postings.");
sleep(5);
// go back two pages
echo "<script>window .history.go(-2);</script>";
exit;
?>
Problem is that the first echo never shows up on the page; it displays a blank
page (well, the page constructed up to PHP section), then sleeps for the five
seconds and goes back two pages.
Why?
Thanks -

Could be caching is turned on with your web server. So you're spitting
out the notice, but the server is holding all your output until the
script is done. In which case the browser gets the <script> and
executes it right away, before you can see the notice posted on the page.
You could have the script execute with a
<script language="javas cript">
window.setTimeo ut('window.hist ory.go(-2);', 5000);
</script>
which will tell the browser to wait 5 seconds before going back. Even
if caching is turned on, this should work.

Worked like a charm! Thanks much...

Hi
From what I have understood from various posts in this newsgroup, writing event
loops pretty much comes down to this:
while (true) {
handleEvents();
sleep(1); // or _sleep() or nanosleep(), depending on platform

Reading about asynchronous programming

1) Are asynchronous programming and multithreaded programming two different
pictures? As I read the help topic above it is not clear to me if the design
pattern opens a new thread or not to run the methods asynchronously.
2) One unique thread can run...

I am trying to write a little program that goes to sleep for 5 seconds.
However, if the user presses Ctrl-C, it interrupts the sleep and prints the
unslept amount.
For example:
unix> ./sleeper
sleeping for 5 seconds
unslept amount is 2 (User hits Ctrl-C after 3 seconds)

Hello everyone,
Can anyone provide me some idea on how to replace the Sleep method.
Major Disadvantage that I face with the Sleep method is that the
application freezes and does not respond to any other events.
I am looking for somedata on how to use Waitable Timer APIs with VB.NET
Thanks in Advance.

My questions:

Hello,
I have a thread ABC that starts another thread XYX. Thread XYZ monitors
various things and if there is no work to do it calls Thread.Sleep to sleep

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
