I know php is server side but..

if i use the

sleep()

command, will that make the script sleep on server side or client side?

i need to run a php script but have pause on client side only .. just for visual affects

thanks

PHP sleep will pause on server side, but all output sent will already be sent to the current point from the sleep command (although the client browser may not be displaying it) if output buffering is not enabled.

Sounds like you want to do a javascript timeout sleep.

oh there's a good idea
i was just playing about with them to for a javascript function i was trying to make.. although its not playing proper yet lol

thanks

yes, just don't search to hard for a js sleep function. What you usually do is get the current seconds, and while (current seconds < current seconds + your sleeping seconds) {just wait}.
