CPU and RAM usage variables.

[Anon]

Does PHP have variables which show the servers performance like:

echo $php_cpu;
// outputs current cpu and its percent usage

echo $php_ram;
// outputs total ram and ram being used

and so forth, I mean is there a library out there that allows for server information and data to be passed via php.

This would help tremendously.

Hi,
i don't know a library. It can be difficult to measure the CPU-usage, because you need a beginning and an end-measuringpoint.
A way is to parse the results of the "top"-Kommando.
But in the practice the ram usage is not very interesting. Only the swapping-space.
Except you have a DOS-machine....

For windows you need to access the Win32-library.

echo uptime;
will show alot of that stuff.

Here's a silly workaround if you want to see RAM usage on the server. Although it seems to lag the page a second or two:

<P><? echo top b n 1 | grep "Mem:" | cut -d',' -f3 | cut -d' ' -f3; ?> of <? echo top b n 1 | grep "Mem:" | cut -d' ' -f4 | cut -d' ' -f3; ?> RAM free on server</P>

Horribly inefficient I'm sure but it works.
