PHPBenchTime v1.3.0

A light benchmark timer class for PHP

On Packagist

https://packagist.org/packages/jsanc623/phpbenchtime

Methods

public Start();
public Lap();
public Pause();
public Unpause();
public End();
private _TotalTime();
private _CurrentTimeFloat();
private _PHPVersion();

Simple Usage

PHPBenchTime is simple to use, let's require the file and use the namespace with a nickname:

require('PHPBenchTime.php');
use PHPBenchTime\Timer as Timer;
$Benchmark = new Timer;

That was easy! Now lets start a timer:

$Benchmark->Start();

Then lets just sleep for 3 seconds:

sleep(3);

Now, lets end the timer, and put results in $time:

$time = $Benchmark->End();

When we end a timer, we receive an array back, containing the start time, end time and difference between start and end times:

Array
(
    [Start] => 1353194312.2802
    [End] => 1353194314.2804
    [Total] => 2.0001
)

Advanced Usage : Laps

PHPBenchTime also allows you to set laps between code execution, which allows you to determine what part of your code is causing a bottleneck. Let's start a timer:

require('PHPBenchTime.php');
use PHPBenchTime\Timer as Timer;
$Benchmark = new Timer;

$Benchmark->Start();

Then, let's sleep for a couple of seconds between laps:

sleep(1);
$Benchmark->Lap();
sleep(2);
$Benchmark->Lap();

Now, let's end the timer:

$time = $Benchmark->End();

Let's see the results:

Array
(
    [Laps] =>
        [0] => 1353195346.6762
        [1] => 1353195347.6763
        [2] => 1353195349.6764
    [Total] => 3.0002
)

Advanced Usage : Named Laps

PHPBenchTime can also perform named laps, laps that allow you to name each one to know more safely where each lap is located...so again, let's start a timer:

require('PHPBenchTime.php');
use PHPBenchTime\Timer as Timer;
$Benchmark = new Timer;

$Benchmark->Start("Start");

Then, let's sleep for a couple of seconds between laps:

sleep(1);
$Benchmark->Lap("First Lap");
sleep(2);
$Benchmark->Lap("Second Lap");

Now, let's end the timer:

$time = $Benchmark->End();

Let's see the result:

Array
(
    [Laps] => 
        [Start] => 1353195603.1876
        [First Lap] => 1353195604.1877
        [Second Lap] => 1353195606.1878
    [Total] => 3.0002
)

TODO

PHPBenchTime still has to mature quite a bit...for example, there are methods for Pause and Unpause, but they have not yet been implemented.

PHPBenchTime could benefit from a bit of code cleanup and performance mods, as well as DRY methodologies in certain areas.
