#37354 [Opn->Bgs]: sleep() does not work as expected

ID: 37354 Updated by: iliaa@php.net Reported By: jbricci at gmail dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function Operating System: Windows 2003 ISAPI PHP Version: 5.1.4 New Comment: Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php PHP numbers sizes are limited by the bitsize of your system. For example when you create a number in excess of 2.14 billion it overflows the integer causing it to go into the negative teritory, hence the error message.

But if this now how sleep() will work in PHP, could you please add the maximum value, (number of seconds allowed to be used in sleep()) to the manual. Reproduce code: --------------- <? // some ridiculous amount of time.. sleep ( 63166608000 ); ?> Expected result: ---------------- script should sleep... Actual result: -------------- script continues without sleeping, and triggers a warning, that makes no sense at all. PHP Warning: sleep() [<a href='function.sleep'>function.sleep</a>]: Number of seconds must be greater than or equal to 0 in x:\www\docs\run\load.php on line 4 PHP 5.1.3 and in older versions, sleep() would sleep, no matter how many seconds were used! snaps.php.net (5.2.dev-latest, 6.0-dev-latest) also seem to follow version 5.1.3 and older version, sleeping no matter how many seconds are used in sleep()! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=37354&edit=1
