  • See: [Simple PHP long polling chat script, too simple?](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3623290/simple-php-long-polling-chat-script-too-simple) [`sleep()`](http://php.net/sleep) Is what you are looking for. – Jared Farrish Aug 12 '12 at 16:32
  • PHP won't be a good option for long poll but still if you want to try it you can use sleep or usleep. You can look into http://www.phpfreechat.net/ for some inspiration on how they do it. – MaX Aug 12 '12 at 16:40
