Since USLEEP doesn't work under windows, you need to come up with your own fix. This little
function will do the trick.
function wait($usecs){
$temp=gettimeofday();
$start=(int)$temp["usec"];
while(1){
$temp=gettimeofday();
$stop=(int)$temp["usec"];
if ($stop-$start >= $usecs) break;
}
}
The smallest amount of time it seems to work with is around 200usecs, but if you wait() anything
higher than 200usecs it's pretty close. My question is since we can access microseconds on a
windows box using this method, why can't we use usleep? :)
