PHP Script to measure PHP execution time

Here I’ll show you how to we can show users how long it takes for php to execute that particular page.

It’s a very simple script and is accurate to 0.000000000000001 seconds.


Firstly place the following code at the very top of your page (before the tag.

< ?php
$time = microtime();
$time = explode(' ', $time);
$time = $time[1] + $time[0];
$begintime = $time;
?>

Next add the following code at the very bottom of the page. You can change the last line to whatever you would like your viewers to see.

< ?php
$time = microtime();
$time = explode(" ", $time);
$time = $time[1] + $time[0];
$endtime = $time;
$totaltime = ($endtime - $begintime);
echo 'PHP parsed this page in ' .$totaltime. ' seconds.';
?>
