cliftonbazaar Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 I have the following code on a page <?PHP session_start();?> <HTML> <HEAD> <META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"> <TITLE>Running Test Cricket</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <?PHP echo "Time at start ".$_SERVER['REQUEST_TIME']; #This is our hourly updates for teams if it is due - it is set off by the variable 'teamUpdateTime' echo "<BR>1"; $updateTime=time(); #Get the current time and put it into the variable $teams = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM teams WHERE teamUpdateTime<'$updateTime'"); //Go through all the teams while($team = mysql_fetch_array($teams)) { echo "<BR>UPDATING - hourly - ".$team['name']; #Show the team we are updating include("../updates/hourly_update_team.php"); #Update all the teams that are due to be updated } echo "<BR>2"; mysql_close($sqldb); //Close the database echo "<BR>Time at end ".$_SERVER['REQUEST_TIME']; ?> </BODY></HTML> While the code is crude it is not for the public to see - it is for updating teams in an online game I am creating. What my problem is that the REQUEST_TIME at the start and end of the code are always outputted the same; the code is there to see how long the page takes to do. I sit there and count how long the page takes to activate (load, whatever the terminology is) and it can take up to 40 seconds - but the REQUEST_TIME tells me it takes 0 seconds so obviously something is wrong. My question is simple - how do I get this code to output the REQUEST_TIME when the code starts and when it finished, thus showing me how long it took for the page to load. I wish to do this to try and speed it up. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro2 Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Try putting this at the top: $starttime = $_SERVER['REQUEST_TIME']; and this at the end of when you want to stop counting: $endtime = time(); Then, when you want to output the number of seconds it took, just do echo "Page took ".($endtime-$starttime)."s to generate."; Or something like that. If you want more precise timing, use microtime instead: $starttime = microtime(true); $endtime = microtime(true); Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
