PHP and Timer events
<p>I would like to use a Timer in php, sending messages after a certain period of time (no player activity)? This is for a multi-player game through sockets.</p>

<p>I have googled and stackoverflew and found the following</p>

<ul>
<li>could use a cron (will need to
synronize my php classes (socket
based) with the cron... ), No I
guess.</li>
<li>could use sleep ... if it could wait
for less than one second, I will have
given a try,  No again, I guess</li>
<li>could use register_tick_function ...
not applicable I think</li>
</ul>

<p>Any ideas?
Thanks!</p>
