page generation time

Randi · #1 09-03-2004

This tutorial will show you how to add a page generation time on your website. This is what we have to do:
1. Get the time in micro-seconds using the function: microtime().
2. Turn the micro-time into an array using the explode() function.
3. Add the two parts to the array together (the micro-seconds to the seconds).
4. Repeat steps 1,2 and 3 for the bottom of the page
5. Find the total loading time by taking the time taken at the end of the page from the time taken at the top of the page
6. Round the microtime and return it to the browser
Put at the top of your page:

PHP Code:


			
<?

 $m_time = explode(" ",microtime()); 

 $m_time = $m_time[0] + $m_time[1]; 

 $starttime = $m_time;

?>

Put at the bottom of your page.

PHP Code:


			
<?

 $round = 3;// The number of decimal places to round the micro time to.

 $m_time = explode(" ",microtime()); 

 $m_time = $m_time[0] + $m_time[1]; 

 $endtime = $m_time; 

 $totaltime = ($endtime - $starttime); 

 echo "Page loading took:". round($totaltime,$round) ." seconds"; 

?>

Thats it. You should now have yourself a page generation time on your website!
