[Resolved] Page Time Generation

I've seen on many forum pages and other sites where it says Page Generated in xxx Seconds. How is that accomplished? I'm assuming it is through PHP so does anyone know?

At the top of the document (above <HTML>):

<?php
$pagetimerstart = explode(' ', microtime()) ;
$pagetimerstart = $pagetimerstart[1]. substr($pagetimerstart[0], 1);
?>

And this goes right above </BODY> or however it suits your design. The lower, the more accurate result.
It calculates the time it takes to load whats between the tags. Just make sure you put it above </HTML>
and you'll be fine. Here goes:

<?php
$pagetimerstop = explode(' ', microtime()) ;
$pagetimerstop = $pagetimerstop[1] . substr($pagetimerstop[0], 1);
$pagetime=round($pagetimerstop-$pagetimerstart,4);
echo " $pagetime ";
?>

This generates the time it takes for the server to generate the site.
Not the time it takes for the 'viewer' to load it.

i got this from an article on phpbuilder...

as early as possible in the code, put the following

	list($usec, $sec) = explode(" ",microtime()); 
	$timestart = ((float)$usec + (float)$sec);

this calculates the time, in seconds since the unix epoch, that the page started.

then, put this at or near the end of the code

	list($usec, $sec) = explode(" ",microtime()); 
	$timeend = ((float)$usec + (float)$sec); 

$timetaken = $timeend - $timestart;
$timetaken = number_format($timetaken, 4, '.', '');

this calculates the time the page ends, then $timeend - $timestart is the time taken, which is then formatted to 0.0000

as most php pages will execute in well under a second, you probably wont want to display it just in seconds, which is why i use four decimal places - most of my pages complete in hundredths of a second.

ok i guess i type slower than sneeze! but we both have pretty much the same code...
