Опис

mixed gettimeofday ([ bool $return_float = false ] )

This is an interface to gettimeofday(2). It returns an associative array containing the data returned from the system call.

Параметри

return_float

When set to TRUE, a float instead of an array is returned.

Значення, що повертаються

By default an array is returned. If return_float is set, then a float is returned.

Array keys:

  • "sec" - seconds since the Unix Epoch
  • "usec" - microseconds
  • "minuteswest" - minutes west of Greenwich
  • "dsttime" - type of dst correction

A small improvement on getTimer.  Using vsprintf instead of sprintf there is no need to assign the array:

<?php
function utime()
{
  return (float) (
vsprintf('%d.%06d', gettimeofday()));
}
?>

In a test on my machine getTimer took 0.037519 seconds to run through 1000 iterations versus 0.027912 seconds for utime.  In total, utime runs about 25% quicker.  The use is negligible in an actual benchmarking scenario, but this could provide a slightly more accurate estimate.  Of course the time it takes to run the function could always be stored at the start and subtracted from your total value each time it is run.
