Answer 1

you can use sleep() function:

echo '<div class="animatedText"> ';
while ($row = $strSql->fetch_assoc()) {

      $rows[]=$row;

       foreach($rows as $row){
           $words1=$row['words'];

           echo $words1;
           sleep(5);

           }

       }
echo '</div>';

try using output buffering. For example:

header( 'Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8' );

while ($row = $strSql->fetch_assoc()) {
      $rows[]=$row;
       foreach($rows as $row){
            $words1=$row['words'];
            echo '<div class="animatedText"> ';
            echo $words1;
            echo '</div>';
            flush();
            ob_flush();
            sleep(5);
           }
       }
