RE: [PHP] how the "ticks" works?

As the manual says - it executes the "tick" function every 'n' low-level statement - but what's counted as a low-level statement, I don't know... It appears that, in the example, the low-level statements are the "for" and the "echo" If anyone can shed light on this subject, I'd be interested too Martin -----Original Message----- From: bob [mailto:lly200146@sohu.com] Sent: Thursday, February 21, 2002 12:39 AM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] how the "ticks" works?
