PHP线程告诉JavaScript将睡眠

Question

The title is a little confuse, but my problem is:
Javascript do an AJAX Request to the PHP Controller. In the PHP Controller a Thread is created and started. The code is:

public function run() {
    while(true) {
        //Do Something...
        //Know I want to tell Javascript that I have done the thing and I'm going to sleep.
        sleep(10000);
    }
}

So the JavaScript code is:

$.ajax({
 type: 'POST',
 url: "controllers/DatabaseController/",
 data: dataObject,
 success: function(response) {
   //Do Something after the Thread Result
 }
});

I am thinking that this problem it's impossible... Because the Thread runs and sleep after a time set by the client. And when the Thread runs, the client side need to see the results of the Thread.

How can I do this? The Javascript need to be in a loop like the PHP Thread?

The situation is:
- Thread do polling of the equipments status and after that the javascript change the icons status (green or red) of the equipments.

Answer 1

Solution: I used the javascript function setInterval with the time that user set, who runs a function that do an ajax request to the php controller.
The Controller create a thread that do the polling of the equipments and die.
