Calculate execution time

Language:: PHP Type:: Back-end

For debugging purposes, it is a good thing to be able to calculate the execution time of a script. This is exactly what this piece of code can do.

//Create a variable for start time
$time_start  = microtime(true);
 
// Place your PHP/HTML/JavaScript/CSS/Etc. Here
 
//Create a variable for end time
$time_end  = microtime(true);
//Subtract the two times to get seconds
$time  = $time_end  - $time_start;
 
echo  'Script took '.$time.' seconds to execute';
