[SOLVED] Speed Test

[Leeder]

A while ago I asked which of my two scripts was faster, and someone told me their times to load for 1,000 hits.

 

I was like O.o Where do I get that?

 

So..

 

Where do I get that? (O.o)

 

(I'd prefer not to download anything if possible x.x)

[per1os]

<?php
for($i=0;$i<1000;$i++) {
   //execute script here
}
?>

 

 

[Leeder]

Oh wow, I never thought of that.. ='( thank you!

 

 

...So what about recording the time it takes without a stopwatch and extremely good reflexes?

[per1os]

<?php
function microtime_float()
{
$time = microtime();
return (double)substr( $time, 11 ) + (double)substr( $time, 0, 8 );
}

$startTime = microtime_float();

for($i=0;$i<1000;$i++) {

   //execute script here
}
$endTime = microtime_float();

$totalTime = ($endTime - $startTime);

print "It took " . $totalTime . " seconds to run 1,000 times!";
?>

Um.. I'll take your word for it.

Frost was the microtime_float function written for PHP4 ? as i know PHP5 has microtime_float builtin..

 

Just wondering

[per1os]

I just pulled that from the php user comments. PHP5 added a parameter "get_as_float" that you can use instead of creating an alias function as to say.

ChangeLog

 

Version Description

5.0.0 The get_as_float parameter was added
