Adding a statement to all pages ?

[dada]

I have many php files and I would like to simulate
low speed connectivity by adding sleep(5); statement to
all the php pages.
Instead of adding this statement manually to all the php files
is there a way to globally give this statement or any other way to add delay
to all pages

Umm, instead of trying to modify all your pages, why not just sign up for
one of those free internet dialup accounts? Or, at the very least, a $4.95
a month deal just for testing purposes. Then you could see what your sites
look like to a dialup user. I have both dialup and broadband, and it's
been a very good thing.

Make it your use to create a head.php file where you write all informations
that are needed on all pages, as db connection, error reporting, functions
you need and so on. Include that file at the top of every page regardless of
if it's really needed. So you always have the possibility to add something
like what you want and remove it again globally for the whole application.

Or even better, if you're using apache put the following in your virtual
host setting:

php_value auto_prepend /var/www/.../global.php

That way it will be prepended to every page automatically.

Well, usually your development environment is not internet accessible.
Personally I use a null modem cable, which does a reasonable job simulating
a modem connection. You'd need a second computer for that of course.

The easiest way to do this kind of testing is probably through a bandwidth
throttling proxy. The best one I've seen is Proxy Workbench
(http://www.tcpiq.com/tcpiq/pwb/info.asp). It intercepts Internet traffic at
a lower level so you don't need to fiddle with your browser's proxy
settings. Highly recommended.
