Override if condition fulfills in sleep() function in php

Question

MR.Test’s Question:

Is it possible to write sleep function with condition in php?
Example…

Public function sleepy() {
sleep(100);
If(condition a) { 
Sleep(50);
} else {
 Echo 'some thing'
 }
}

So that the sleep(50) must be override the 100 if condition full fill?

How could I achieve similar concept, in proper programming practice?

By the way, I am typing from my iphone, sorry for any unclear code, if any…

Answer 1

If that is only thing you are trying to do, then just move the the sleep(100) inside the else portion.

public function sleepy() {

    if(condition a) { 
        sleep(50);
    } else {
        sleep(100);
        echo 'some thing'
    }
}

If you are really trying to override the parameter like that, you can design you own function to execute the sleep afterward instead.
