fopen() and fpassthru()

[bsvance]

A gentlemen answered me on a different forum with this. I am trying to time a web page download. Does anyone have an example of this code in use:

There are many many approaches to this problem, this is probably the simplest:

1. store start time
2. fopen() the file
3. output apropriate headers
4. fpassthru() the file
5. subtract the start time from the current time
6. store the time result somewhere apropriate

Hi,

a little bit shorter:

1. store start time
2. output apropriate headers
3. @readfile("filename")
4. subtract the start time from the current time
5. store the time result somewhere apropriate

You won't have to use fopen in that case. @readfile just reads in the contents of a file and sends them to the browser.

There is one step missing in your list ... fclose() filepointer.

Im sorry I didn't explain what I wanted enough. I want to track the time the server took to load the page and then time the download to the client.

I am trying to develope a tester and I want the ability to tell if I have a bad download time due to the server.
