note 90582 added to function.sleep

Note that this technique won't help against brute force attacks on web-based applications, since each request starts a new process. You'll just have hundreds of instances of your application sleeping while the attack goes on. It's probably inadvisable. ---- Server IP: 209.41.74.194 Probable Submitter: 64.199.1.7 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.sleep.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/90582 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90582/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90582/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90582/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90582/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90582/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90582/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90582 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/90582 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
