PHP sleep() problem

Hello,
I have a script that is running a loop that waits 30 seconds to execute each time.
$time=30;
while (){
run a mysql update
echo "ok";
}
in my browser i got the ok every 30 secs.. that is fine. The problem is that the mysql update is done all at the same time.
Is there a way to make the mysql update wait the 30 secs????
I have being using flush(); sleep; and I get the same result.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers from sunny (not to sunny today) Panama.

First query will run right away, then wait 30s before all other queries.
Peace,

If the browser waits the 30 seconds then the script is behaving as you want it to.
So the real problem is most likely either in your update query or in your method of detecting the update. Post some information on those and perhaps we'll see the problem.
