Bug->Req #79030 [Nab->ReO]: Upgrade apache2handler's php_apache_sapi_get_request_time to return usec

To make sure, what SAPI are you using for the web side? One can define its own means of determining the request time, and if it does not then PHP falls back to gettimeofday. https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/PHP-7.4.1/main/SAPI.c#L1083 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-12-26 06:00:31] herbert at groot dot jebbink dot nl gettimeofday(2) may not be accurate at sub-millisecond level, but with 2 sequential calls the last one will not be lower then the first one. I think it is caused by the fact that $_SERVER['REQUEST_TIME_FLOAT'] is rounded to milliseconds and microtime(TRUE) is not. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-12-25 09:12:46] requinix@php.net Those two are backed by gettimeofday(2), which is not suitable for measuring time intervals to sub-millisecond precision. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
