help with the "page creation time"

[raptori]

im trying to figureout what method is faster while i make the scripts.
to do that i need to know how long it took to complete the script.
can anyone tell me how to do that?

thx in advanced.

I've got a thing that times how long a page takes to load, from request to completion; it's a broad knife but it should show you if x feature makes a big difference - http://www.brothercake.com/scripts/loadtimer.php

[raptori]

here it is

PHP Code:

<?php
//script by Afrim S. <afrimi22@yahoo.com>


//loading time function
$time_start = getmicrotime();

function getmicrotime(){ 
    list($usec, $sec) = explode(" ",microtime()); 
    return ((float)$usec + (float)$sec); 
    } 
//end of loading time function


//YOUR CODE GOES HERE




//final code for Loading time.  DO NOT DELETE
$time_end = getmicrotime();
$time = $time_end - $time_start;
echo "Page generated in ".number_format($time,4)." seconds";


?>

brothercake, thanks for that link.
