| In the php, I want do a function after a trigger. The code like:
$world->Execute('hp');
sleep(4);
Task();
But the command hp doesn't display the result before the sleep time over. How can I do it? | Top |

| As you are sleeping, the program isn't awake to receive the MUD's response to the command.
There are easier ways of pausing scripts in Lua with coroutines, but I don't know of easy ways in PHP. You can get around it by doing things like calling DoAfter and giving it a timeout and the function to finish evaluating your code. |

| Indeed.
Although that mentions Lua, it also describes why sleeping doesn't work. |
