    Ok, to do something like that using time.h you can do something like this:
    PHP Code:
    long int starttime=(long int)clock();
    while(
    clock() - starttime TIMELIMIT//clock returns milliseconds 
    {} //Just have an empty while statement to pause the program.    
    //Do other stuff here 
    This doesn't check for user input, you will have to get someone else on that, but it will pause the program. You can always use the windows function Sleep(). Hope this helps you.
