Is there a Timer class in PHP5?

[BG Mahesh]

hi


Java has a Timer class (include some URL) which allows us to kick off
a process/task at specified time. How can I achieve the same in PHP5?

Not quite.

It's actually a bit harder to start a task while still processing the own
task. It could be done using pcntl_fork() and a sleep() for 'short' times,
otherwise I'd choose Cron
