I've just added support for userland PHP tick callback functions. This can be used to simulate background processing. Usage example: <? function foo($a) { print "$a\n"; } function zoo() { static $i = 0; print "I am: $i\n"; $i++; } register_tick_function("foo", "I'm here!"); register_tick_function("zoo"); declare (ticks = 3) { 1;1; 1;1; 1;1; } ?> This would output: I'm here! I am: 0 I'm here! I am: 1 It's also possible to use array($obj, 'method') syntax for callbacks, and there is unregister_tick_function() as well. -Andrei Nobody tried to design Windows - it just grew in random directions without any kind of thought behind it.
