There is no way to delay execution of part of the code of in the current script. It wouldn’t make much sense, either, as the processing of a PHP script takes place entirely on server side and you would just delay the overall execution of the script. There is
sleep()but that will simply halt the process for a certain time.You can, of course, schedule a PHP script to run at a specific time using cron jobs and the like.
