Does sleep time count for execution time limit?

If the max execution time lower than the sleep function argument

ini_set('max_execution_time', 30);
sleep(35);
foo();

will the foo() function run?

Is it OS specific or not?

Answer 1

while setting the set_time_limit or max_execution_time the duration of sleep() will be ignored in the execution time. The following illustrates:

<?php

  set_time_limit(20);

  while ($i<=10)
{
    echo "i=$i ";
    sleep(100);
    $i++;
}

?>

Output:

i=0 i=1 i=2 i=3 i=4 i=5 i=6 i=7 i=8 i=9 i=10.
