note 53810 added to function.microtime

Hmm...perhaps their is some speed loss to unluckypixie's method...anyone want to check this out? On a side note, personally, the way I'm doing it for cross-compatibility between PHP4 and PHP5 is by simply doing a version compare. I mean, compiled code is always faster than interpreted. .::My method::. <?php /* * Copyright 2005, Wesley Spikes. * nofulfillment@numbinside.net * http://nothingcanfulfill.numbinside.net * * Freely distributable.
