Re: Speed issues

I'm on the same platform as you and sometimes when I refresh it takes a couple of seconds to create the page. So I built this funtion to see how long it really takes to create. I believe it is IIS serving up the webpage that makes it takes so long. Put the start time at the beginning of the script and the end time at the bottom (footer??)..Here ya go: function getmicrotime() { $bits = explode(" ", microtime()); return $bits[0] + $bits[1]; } //this gets the start time it takes to run a script $time_start = getmicrotime(); // lets get the ending time $time_end = getmicrotime(); $total=$time_end-$time_start; $total_format= number_format($total,4); print "Created page in $total_format sec(s)"; "Charles P.

PHP 4.3.1 CGI mode IIS 5.0 Windows 2000 Server Every now and then I get scripts that take > 30 seconds to complete. The same script usually takes < 1 second. Could a client on a VERY slow connection be slowing this process down? In a request process who handles queueing the data until the client can download all of it? IIS or PHP or both? Charles Killmer
