For Linux this point is the moment the system was booted. This return value may overflow the possible range of type clock_t." See also: http://www.omc.net/cgi-bin/man.cgi?section=7&topic=clocks This function really isn't reliable to use. Simply put: Don't use it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-11-22 09:46:31] whooper at dap dot ro Description: ------------ Configure Command FreeBSD www.dap.ro 4.9-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE #0: Wed Nov i386 , Apache/1.3.28 './configure' '--enable-versioning' '--enable-memory-limit' '--with-layout=GNU' '--with-zlib-dir=/usr' '--disable-all' '--with-regex=php' '--with-apxs=/usr/local/sbin/apxs' '--with-bz2=/usr' '--enable-ctype' '--enable-dba' '--with-dom=/usr/local' '--enable-ftp' '--with-gd' '--enable-gd-native-ttf' '--enable-gd-jis-conv' '--with-freetype-dir=/usr/local' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local' '--with-png-dir=/usr/local' '--with-inifile' '--with-mcrypt=/usr/local' '--with-mhash=/usr/local' '--with-mime-magic=/usr/share/misc/magic.mime' '--with-mysql=/usr/local' '--with-openssl=/usr' '--enable-overload' '--with-pcre-regex=yes' '--enable-posix' '--enable-session' '--enable-sockets' '--enable-tokenizer' '--enable-xml' '--with-expat-dir=/usr/local' '--with-xmlrpc' '--enable-xslt' '--with-xslt-sablot=/usr/local' '--with-zlib=yes' '--prefix=/usr/local' 'i386-portbld-freebsd4.9' Loaded modules : mod_php4, mod_setenvif, mod_so, mod_unique_id, mod_usertrack, mod_headers, mod_expires, mod_cern_meta, mod_proxy, mod_digest, mod_auth_db, mod_auth_anon, mod_auth, mod_access, mod_rewrite, mod_alias, mod_userdir, mod_speling, mod_actions, mod_imap, mod_asis, mod_cgi, mod_dir, mod_autoindex, mod_include, mod_info, mod_status, mod_negotiation, mod_mime, mod_mime_magic, mod_log_config, mod_env, mod_vhost_alias, mod_mmap_static, http_core Reproduce code: --------------- <?php function uptime() { $uptime = posix_times(); // set uptime in "day hours min" format $upsecs = floor($uptime["ticks"]/100); if ($upsecs <= 3600 ){$upmins=floor($upsecs/60); if ( $upmins <= "9" ) {$upmins="0".$upmins;} $upnow=$upmins." minutes"; } else { if ($upsecs <= 86400 ){ $uphours=floor($upsecs/3600); $upmins=floor($upsecs/60 - $uphours*60); if ( $upmins <= "9" ) {$upmins="0".$upmins;} $upnow=$uphours." hours and ".$upmins."minutes"; } else { $updays=floor($upsecs/86400); $uphours=floor($upsecs/3600 - $updays*24); $upmins=floor($upsecs/60 - $uphours*60 -$updays*60*24); if ( $upmins <= "9" ){$upmins="0".$upmins;} $upnow=$updays." days, ".$uphours." hours and ".$upmins." minutes"; } } return $upnow; } ?> Expected result: ---------------- Services UpTime: 2 days, 3 hours, 15 minutes Actual result: -------------- Services UpTime: 0-90328 minutes ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=26359&edit=1
