Execute script after certain time?

Question

PHP

It is necessary to execute the script on the backend after the user's request after N time.
Now I made a request through the curl on the back and slip (without waiting for a response)
I think this is a fat crutch

How can I do it differently?

Answer 1

use sleep() - https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.sleep.php
in the doc is very easy and detailed.
