Page loading in 0 or 3E-05 seconds?

[lucasl]

Hi,
I'm doing a page load time on my website, but for some reason its not working. When I round the final time result to 4 or less, it just displays zero. When its five, it shows '3E-05'. Also, echo 'Page loaded in $fintime secs.' doesn't display the variable, it just displays $fintime. Here's my code.
[code]
//At the top:
<?
  $mtime = explode(' ', microtime());
  $starttime = $mtime[0] + $mtime[1];
?>
//At the bottom:
  <?
    $mtime = explode(' ', microtime());
    $fintime = $mtime[0] + $mtime[1];
    $loadtime = $fintime - $starttime;
    $loadtime = round($loadtime, 5);
    echo 'Page loaded in '.$loadtime.' secs.';
  ?>
[/code]

Your script is all a bit backward. Try...

[code]
<?php
  // top
  $time = explode(' ', microtime());
  $start = $time[1] + $time[0];
?>

<?php
  // bottom
  $time = explode(' ', microtime());
  $finish = $time[1] + $time[0];
  $total_time = round(($finish - $start), 5);
  echo "Page loaded in $total_time secs.";
?>
[/code]

PS and OT but, also note that using the full <?php tags enables syntax highlighting on the board. Its a good idea to get into that habbit of coding with it anyway as its guarenteed to work on all servers.

That didn't work, and I didn't think it would. The computer doesn't care what order I add things in, or what my variables are called.
PS. Thanks for the <?php tip.

Sorry, I'll admit I didn't really look to closely at your script. Mine however is working fine here and produces....

[code]
Page loaded in 0.00172 secs.
[/code]

What do you get?

[lucasl]

I got 0 if I rounded it to 4 or less, and 3E-05 for 5. I haven't tried 6.

Just a thought but here is a setting in the php.ini that [i]may[/i] have something to do with this. The [i]precision[/i] directive. Mine is set to 12, whats yours?

[lucasl]

Mine is as well

PS.
I can't post for 20-50 mins

Well, Im sorry but Ive no idea. Its working fine here.

Anyone Else know?

nope i tryed the mentioned way and it worked for me here check it out http://dreamshowstudios.net its at bottom

Here's an interesting note, look at this:
[code]Starttime Raw: 0.43816100, 1166334795 Fintime Raw: 0.43820800, 1166334795Page loaded in 5E-05 secs. fin: 1166334795.44 start: 1166334795.44[/code]
Thats all the variables. Raw is the array result of millisecs seperated by a comma. I think something is wrong with my millisecs command

EDIT: And by millisecs I mean microtime():)

[lucasl]

I used number_format, and it worked fine. Or did it? It keeps saying it loaded in 0.00005 or less seconds!
Can somebody test it [url=http://www.freesoft.logical-host.com/]here[/url] (its at the bottom of the page)?
