sleep() is clearing my array? :(

I'm working on my own cms and i'm running into a weird but extremely frustrating problem.

I'm using sleep() in the script to delay a process. But...

Really basic example

set_time_limit( 0 );
$go[]='2';
$go[]='4';
$go[]='1';

sleep(2);
print_r($go);

PHP:

If I put print_r before the sleep it outputs, if I put it after sleep then it doesn't output anything.

I don't know wtf could be doing this and i've been staring at it for 90mins already so I'm looking for some help.

 

I can't reproduce the error, this works just fine for me.

 

Try this?

<?php

error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', true);
set_time_limit( 0 );

$go = array();
$go[]='2';
$go[]='4';
$go[]='1';

sleep(2);
var_dump($go);

PHP:

You should at very least get "NULL"...

 

Man how the F is this possible? It's just not outputting anything. I tried the example above but I just don't get any output.

I even gave it a new variablename and tried echo'ing it in the end..... f'ing still blank.

This is driving me CRAZY!!

 

No idea about this, maybe if you're using php4 try in php5.

 

Wait a second. Do you run this from a browser? If yes then the request times out.

Your code works with php4 as well (checked it, just in case).
