Sleep

[ajicles]

I have a download page for my website and I tried using sleep to delay before the user can download an item. Right now I am using javascript to display a count down and the download link is in a hidden div and I wanted to have a time in php when the user goes to the page the timer starts and then echos the download link instead it being visible in the source code.

 

<script> 
<!-- 
// 
var milisec=0 
var seconds=30 
document.counter.d2.value="30" 

function display(){ 
if (milisec<=0){ 
    milisec=9 
    seconds-=1 
} 
if (seconds<=-1){ 
    milisec=0 
    seconds+=1 
} 
else 
    milisec-=1 
    document.counter.d2.value=seconds+"."+milisec 
    setTimeout("display()",100) 
} 
display() 
--> 
</script> 


<div id="hid" style="visibility:hidden"><center><a href="upload/'.$row[4].'/'.$row[1].'"><img src="images/download.png" width="200" height="55" border="0" /></a></center></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
function showIt() {
  document.getElementById("hid").style.visibility = "visible";
}
setTimeout("showIt()", 30000); // after 1 sec
</script>
