Loading times...

[fury]

Hi all,

I was wondering if there is a script that would show loading times. You know how some webpages/scripts show at the bottom "Loaded in 0.0512 secs" or something like that. How would I go about implementing something like that?

Thanks :)

I think they are time to generate page not load it.

easy

get system time at start of script.

do script

get system time at end

minus one from the other

print page generation .....ms

code depends on the language you use

[Dusty]

This would work for Perl and PHP:


$start_time=time();

# script here

$end_time=time();
print "Generated in ".($end_time-$start_time)." seconds";

thanks very much for your help...

I've added it too!
But how about 3 decimals? is it something with printf?
If so,.. could you please give an example

[atlas]

This is for perl:



use Benchmark;

my $startBenchmark = new Benchmark;

...
your regular code here
...

my $endBenchmark = new Benchmark;
my $timeDiff = timediff($endBenchmark,$startBenchmark);
print "Took:" . timestr($timeDiff) . "\n\n";


There are more options for Benchmark, this is just one way of using it.

I tested it,.. got info about CPU too!
I only want time with 3 decimals

please

[fury]

yes I would like to know how to do this too...

thanks again for all the help..

[findftp]

anybody ?

[lucifer]

fprint sounds like the function your after

That's what I already posted before. Could you please give an example?

[niv]

you mean it's giving you like 3.4680723723572345?

well make an integer $n = $timeseek * 1000 % 1000
then make a float $f = $n / 1000 + 0.000

[fury]

but is there a builtin way or function to do this?

[niv]

i wouldn't know. i'm an idiot.

[findftp]

This is what I use now. But the script tells me everytime that it took 0.295 seconds.
What's wrong?

This is the code






use Benchmark;
my $startBenchmark = new Benchmark;

##### rest of the script #####

my $endBenchmark = new Benchmark;
my $timeDiff = timediff($endBenchmark,$startBenchmark);
$n = ($timeDiff * 1000 % 1000);
$f = ($n / 1000 + 0.000);
$gtime = "<font size=\"-2\">Searched for: $f seconds</font>\n\n";

[lucifer]

you where using $timeDiff as a value which if you had printed you would see was something like 'Benchmark=ARRAY(0xbc53f0)' this was then being used to do some calcs

this works to 2 dp on my machine


use Benchmark;
my $startBenchmark = new Benchmark;

# wasting time
for ($i=0;$i<1000000;$i++){}


my $endBenchmark = new Benchmark;
my $timeDiff = timediff($endBenchmark,$startBenchmark);

$_=timestr($timeDiff);
/([\d\.]+) CPU/;
$f=$1;
print "<font size=\"-2\">Searched for: $f seconds</font>\n\n";
