    If you want the user to see a message every second in their browser, this isn’t doable in PHP. PHP is a server-side language, meaning that by the time the page reaches the browser, PHP’s work is done.

    You’ll need a client-side language such as Javascript to accomplish this, using something like setTimeout: http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/met_win_settimeout.asp

    Edit after OP’s clarification:

    If instead what you want is to execute the script once every X seconds, then you should look into cron. You can use cron to schedule your script to run as often as you desire.

    So an example of how it might work is:

    1. You write a script that sends an email once
    2. You set your crontab to execute your script, say, once every hour
    3. Every hour, cron will execute your script, sending you an email
