Fix bug#50039 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-10-30 11:21:52] ingo at baab dot de correction: use microtime(true); instead ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-10-30 11:18:40] ingo at baab dot de Description: ------------ The example in the documentation is IMHO wrong. time_sleep_until() wants a timestamp as float, but the example shows getting a value from time(). Here should be used microtime(true) to get a float value. The shown example will only work accidentally right (without a warning), if (time()+0.2) is not allready in the past when generated. Use microtime() instead here. Reproduce code: --------------- --- From manual page: function.time-sleep-until#Beispiele --- <?php // Gibt false zurück und generiert eine Warnung var_dump(time_sleep_until(time()-1)); // funktioniert evtl. nur auf schnellen Rechnern, schläft für bis zu 0.2 Sekunden var_dump(time_sleep_until(time()+0.2)); ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=50039&edit=1
