[RESOLVED] Get the seconds taken to load a page

[tkruise]

<?php

$totaltime = time();
switch ($totaltime) {

case ($totaltime < 1):
echo "Hella fast!";
break;

case ($totaltime > 1):
echo "Chill!";
break;

case ($totaltime > 10):
echo "Be back 2morrow";
break;
}

?>

I know that using that time() up there is wrong, but what can I use to gimme how many seconds took to load the page?

// very top of script
$start = microtime(TRUE);

// body of script

// bottom of script
$finish = microtime(TRUE);
$totaltime = $finish-$start;

You need a start and end time() (or microtime() if you want higher fidelity). Take the difference to get the number of seconds. Also, if you want to use a switch, it might be something like

<?php
$startTime = time();
/*
Lots of amazing code that does all sorts of cool things
*/
$totalTime = time() - $startTime;
switch(true) {
   case($totalTime <= 1):
      echo "Sweet!";
      break;
   case($totalTime < 10): // otherwise the > 10 would never trigger
      echo "Not so hot."
      break;
   default:
      echo "That sucked!";
}

Thank you guys... I tried doing this by another way too, like this, but didnt get exactly what happened here..

<?php

$totaltime = date("s");
switch ($totaltime) {

case ($totaltime < 1):
echo $totaltime .  ": That was fast!";
break;

case ($totaltime > 1):
echo $totaltime . ": Not fast!";
break;

case ($totaltime > 10):
echo $totaltime . ": That's slooooow";
break;
}

?>

because you aren't calculating a passage of time. You are simply setting total time to the current second in time (between 0 and 59)

thanks! Appreciate that
