Hi all,
This test code runs through an array of email addresses with the goal of stopping every 20 rows for 60 seconds.
<?php
$counter = 0;
$last = 21;
foreach ($all_mails as $mails)
{
echo $mails['e_mail'],'br /';
$counter ++;
if $counter = $last
{
$counter = 0;
$last = $last + 20;
sleep(60);
}
}
?>
I get the error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE, expecting ‘(’ in C:\xampp\htdocs\mail_post.html_2.php on line 26
This is the ‘(’ after the sleep command.
What’s wrong please?
Mike
<?php
$counter = 0;
$last = 21;
foreach ($all_mails as $mails)
{
echo $mails['e_mail'],'br /';
$counter ++;
if ($counter == $last) //<<<-- fixed if statement
{
$counter = 0;
$last = $last + 20;
sleep(60);
}
}
?>
Your if statement is wrong:
if $counter = $last
{
Should be:
if($counter == $last)
{
Hopefully that’ll solve the problem.
Hi again,
Now that the code’s running it works until the first occurence of the sleep command and then gives this error.
Fatal error:
Maximum execution time of 60 seconds exceeded in C:\xampp\htdocs\mikesg_2\mail_system\mail\mail_post.html_2.php on line 30
What now?

If you’re using a cron-job you shouldn’t have this problem; for testing use set_time_limit(0).
Thanks everyone for your contributions and help. The problem has gone away as I don’t need the pause anymore. Mike
