What are some common mistakes made by beginners when attempting to control image display timings using PHP?

One common mistake made by beginners when attempting to control image display timings using PHP is not understanding how to use the sleep() function properly. To ensure that images are displayed for a specific duration, the sleep() function can be used to pause the script execution for a set amount of time before displaying the next image.

// Set the image display time in seconds
$imageDisplayTime = 5;

// Array of images
$images = array("image1.jpg", "image2.jpg", "image3.jpg");

foreach ($images as $image) {
    echo "<img src='$image' />";
    sleep($imageDisplayTime);
}
