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. http://www.php.net/manual/function.usleep.php
