PHP间隔时间

Question

I have a problem, I'm running a script and the PHP line duplicates to whatever number $num_newlines equals. This is what I am currently using:

for ($i=1; $i<=($num_newlines - 1); $i++) {
$tweetcpitems->post('statuses/update', array('status' => wordFilter("The item $array[$i]    has been released on Club Penguin.")));
}

What I want to do is have 90 second intervals between however many duplicates are made. So I'm not tweeting like 50 times within 10 seconds. What I want to do is add a 90 second interval between each tweet, please help!

Use the sleep() function:

for ($i = 1; $i <= $num_newlines - 1; $i ++) {
    $tweetcpitems->post('statuses/update', array('status' => wordFilter('The item ' . $array[$i] . ' has been released on Club Penguin.')));
    sleep(90);
}

This snippet sleeps after every tweet, also after the last one. To prevent sleeping unnecessary after the last tweet, use this:

for ($i = 1; $i <= $num_newlines - 1; $i ++) {
    $tweetcpitems->post('statuses/update', array('status' => wordFilter('The item ' . $array[$i] . ' has been released on Club Penguin.')));

    if ($i <= $num_newlines - 1) {
        sleep(90);
    }
}
