Description

event_timer_set ( resource $event , callable $callback [, mixed $arg ] ) : bool

events

A flag indicating the event. This will always be EV_TIMEOUT for timer events.

arg

Optional parameter, previously passed to event_timer_set() as arg.

Parameters

event

Valid event resource.

callback

Callback function to be called when the matching event occurs.

arg
