Insert at the beginning of page

PHP Code:

 

$m_time = explode(" ",microtime());

$m_time = $m_time[0] + $m_time[1];

$loadstart = $m_time;

 

 

insert at the end of page

PHP Code:

 

$m_time = explode(" ",microtime());

$m_time = $m_time[0] + $m_time[1];

$loadend = $m_time;

$loadtotal = ($loadend - $loadstart);

echo "<small><em>Generated page in ". round($loadtotal,3) ." seconds</em></small>";

I see you're not asking a question but posting some code others might find helpful - so thanks

 

One suggestion I'd make is to only do the explodes later - the reason being that if you are interesting in microsecond granularity, there's always a chance the explode() themselves will take extra processing time and upset the results. Therefore I'd make these ever-so-slight changes (and wrap them in functions I can include and call in every page):

 

<?php
/* loadtimes.php */
function loadtime() {
 return microtime(); // this doesn't work on all platforms (see man) so alternatives may be used there
}

function loadend($loadstart) {
 $loadend = loadtime();
 /* Now do all the processing here, after having taken the timings */
 $m_time = explode(" ",loadstart);
 $loadstart = $m_time[0] + $m_time[1];
 $m_time = explode(" ",loadend);
 $loadend = $m_time[0] + $m_time[1];
 $loadtotal = $loadend - $loadstart;
 echo "<p class=\"loadtime\">Generated page in ". round($loadtotal,3) ." seconds</p>";
}
?>

Then in each PHP page:

 

<?php
include "loadtimes.php";
$loadstart = loadtime();

// rest of page

loadend($loadstart);
?>

Really just a minor modification to avoid effects which are probably negligible in comparison to the rest of your page anyway, and make the code reusable.

Thanks Connetu_C...

Every one else was doing it so fidgured I'd post my timer function also

 

///------------------------------------------
/// function to calculate parse time
///------------------------------------------

function funcParseTimer($vMarker='') { 
	$aTmp = explode (" ", microtime ()); 
	$vTime = $aTmp[1] + $aTmp[0];
	if (!defined('RICE_PARSE_TIME')) { define('RICE_PARSE_TIME',$vTime); srand((float) $aTmp[1] + ((float) $aTmp[0] * 100000)); }
	else { echo '<!-- '.$vMarker,': ',round(($vTime - RICE_PARSE_TIME),4)," seconds -->\r\n"; }
}
