Re: PHP Execution Timer

Here is a function I sometimes use to log that will show you the time that has passed since the last log entry. I find it very useful, so that you can test a section of code's execution time simply by surrounding it with calls to this function. Maybe it will be useful to you. Chris function log_message($log_file, $log_message) { global $last_log_write; # SET FORMATTED DATE $formatted_date=date("Y-m-d H:i:s"); # IF THIS IS THE FIRST LOG MESSAGE if (!isset($last_log_write)) {

       error_log("[$formatted_date] [-----------------] $log_message\n", "3", $log_file);
       $last_log_write=microtime();
       $last_log_write=explode(" ", $last_log_write);
       $last_log_write=doubleval($last_log_write["1"]) + doubleval($last_log_write["0"]);

} # ELSE (THIS IS NOT THE FIRST MESSAGE), CALCULATE TIME SINCE LAST LOG else {

       $curr_log_write=microtime();
       $curr_log_write=explode(" ", $curr_log_write);
       $curr_log_write=doubleval($curr_log_write["1"]) + doubleval($curr_log_write["0"]);
       $elapsed_time=$curr_log_write-$last_log_write;
       $elapsed_time=substr($elapsed_time, "0", "8");
       $log_message=str_replace("\r", "", $log_message);
       $log_message=str_replace("\n", "\n                                          ", $log_message);
       error_log("[$formatted_date] [+$elapsed_time seconds] $log_message\n", "3", $log_file);
       $last_log_write=$curr_log_write;

The idea is a page "execution" timer.. or a database query timer.. basically it shows you just a time (usually in msecs) it took for the last command to be executed.. I have seen it used for queries and it returns the time it took.. And I am quite sure I've seen it used for actual page generation as well, whereby it says something like "page generated in x.xxx secs"
