It's much better to have dedicated functions that provide exactly what is requested. A good bad example is microtime() vs microtime(true). :( sys_get_monotonic_nanotime() is rather long but at least descriptive. Obviously providing a class could help with naming a lot and future extension would be easy, e.g. MonotonicTime::getNanoseconds(). -- Richard "Fleshgrinder" Fussenegger
