[PHP3] time a php page From: GPB (gpb <email protected>)
Date: 02/29/00

What I would like to know is if there is a simple way to time how long php
takes to generate a page.

There is the set_time_limit() function as well as max_execution_time , so
php obviously has some internal mechanism for timing a script.

Is it possible to access the value of the time counter in a script?

Here is what I am currently doing (but I'd certainly like something more
efficient/elegant):

// functions
function getmicrotime() {
$mtime = microtime();
$mtime = explode(" ",$mtime);
$mtime = $mtime[1] + $mtime[0];
return $mtime;
}

function buildfoot($begun = "1") {
$endtime = getmicrotime();
$pagetime = ceil($endtime - $begun);
$foot = "<p>$pagetime second(s)
</body>
</html>";
return $foot;
}

// at the start of the script
$begintime = getmicrotime();

// a whole bunch of stuff here that takes a long time and prints out a lot
of html

// and finally, print the end of the page
print buildfoot($begintime);
