Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-01-19 19:39:36] bugzilla77 at gmail dot com Test script (fixed): -------------------- <?=microtime(true)-$_SERVER['REQUEST_TIME_FLOAT']?> but problem still the same ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-01-19 19:34:59] bugzilla77 at gmail dot com Maybe PHP should set the $_SERVER['REQUEST_TIME_FLOAT'] value to MIN of apr_time_as_msec() , microtime(true) ??????? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-01-14 01:40:33] aharvey@php.net I can't reproduce this very reliably on either branch, so I don't think it's version specific as such. Changing $_SERVER['REQUEST_TIME_FLOAT'] to be microtime(true) on startup misses the point of what the server variable represents: it's what the Web server believes the request time to be, not when the PHP interpreter was invoked. If you want microtime(true), then set a variable to that at the top of your script. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-01-11 09:23:27] bugzilla77 at gmail dot com Why this problem is not found in PHP 5.4? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-01-11 09:21:20] bugzilla77 at gmail dot com Currently $_SERVER['REQUEST_TIME_FLOAT'] is useless in determining the time of generating web pages. I think that PHP should setting $_SERVER['REQUEST_TIME_FLOAT'] = microtime(true) on PHP's request handling. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
