Question about using webgring

[eldan88]

I have been learning on how to debug PHP code. One of the things  had a question on is using webgrind, to test performance of scripts.

 

I was told that webgrind shouldn't be used on a production server.

 

How can i test my code execution time, if its not widely used? Isn't that the best way to test for how long it takes for scripts to execute?

Have you looked into microtime()?

I haven't looked at microtime. But is there a way to use something like web grind on a production sever?

//Page load

echo "Page loaded in ";

echo microtime() . " ms
";

//Perform stress on the server


for($i=0; $i


echo "Loop finished in ";

echo microtime() . "ms";

?>
