Setting intervals between While or Foreach actions

Well I am creating a forum autoposter for IPB board in php and I have to use while statements inside other while statements or foreach statements inside while statements.
I use a form containing of website: url, section id, account, password.
For each site details are seperated by a ";"
And a messages area in the same form.
Containing: Title, description, post. Also separated by a ";"
So say I want to post 3 messages to 2 forums in the form of:
Forum 1: Post message 1, 2, 3
Forum 2: Post messages 1, 2, 3
Since IPB has a flood control I need a 10 second interval between each message posted.
I tried this:

		$urls = explode(";", $_POST['u']);
		reset($urls);
		$secs = explode(";", $_POST['s']);
		$accs = explode(";", $_POST['a']);
		$psws = explode(";", $_POST['p']);
		$ttls = explode(";", $_POST['title']);
		reset($ttls);
		$ddcs = explode(";", $_POST['desc']);
		$psts = explode(";", $_POST['Post']);
		while (list($key, $value) = each($urls)) {
			while (list($key2, $value2) = each($ttls)) {
				//Action
				sleep(10);
			}
		}
		

PHP:

and this

		$urls = explode(";", $_POST['u']);
		reset($urls);
		$secs = explode(";", $_POST['s']);
		$accs = explode(";", $_POST['a']);
		$psws = explode(";", $_POST['p']);
		$ttls = explode(";", $_POST['title']);
		reset($ttls);
		$ddcs = explode(";", $_POST['desc']);
		$psts = explode(";", $_POST['Post']);
		while (list($key, $value) = each($urls)) {
			foreach ($ttls as $key2 => $value2) {
				//Action
			sleep(10);
			}
		}
		

PHP:

But it didn't work.
It waited 10 seconds then did all the actions at once.
Please help.

Thanks.

 

Unfortunately. As far I can see, that's completely valid and SHOULD wait 10 seconds between each iteration.

Dan.

 

Well I see it in the same way so I tried to test using a simpler method to test.

while (list($key, $value) = each($urls)) {
	foreach ($ttls as $key2 => $value2) {
		sleep(10);
		echo "Key: $key2; Value: {$ttls[$key2]}<br />\n";
	}
}

PHP:

It waited 10 seconds then everything showed in 1 second :s

Edit: Actually say they were 5 titles total it would wait 50 seconds the all 5 lines show.

 

sleep will wait but the output is buffered - everything will be output at once as the page is only sent to the browser when complete.

 

Yep, I noticed that, it turned out to be a script error anyway, and now it works

 

Oh, another thing about sleep()...
