Silly little ticker...

ticker.php

<?php

$iteration = 0;
$ttl = 5;
$tickerCharacters = ['|','\\','-','/'];

while ($ttl > 0) {
    $ttl -= 0.05;
    time_nanosleep(0, 50000000);
    echo "\033[1D";
    echo $tickerCharacters[$iteration%4];
    $iteration++;
}

echo "\033[2D";
echo "\n";

Similar to the npm ticker
