microtime

(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7)

microtime — 返回当前 Unix 时间戳和微秒数

说明

microtime ([ bool $get_as_float ] ) : mixed

microtime() 当前 Unix 时间戳以及微秒数。本函数仅在支持 gettimeofday() 系统调用的操作系统下可用。

如果调用时不带可选参数，本函数以 "msec sec" 的格式返回一个字符串，其中 sec 是自 Unix 纪元（0:00:00 January 1, 1970 GMT）起到现在的秒数，msec 是微秒部分。字符串的两部分都是以秒为单位返回的。

如果给出了 get_as_float 参数并且其值等价于 TRUE，microtime() 将返回一个浮点数。

Note: get_as_float 参数是 PHP 5.0.0 新加的。

Example #1 用 microtime() 对脚本的运行计时


<?php
/**
 * Simple function to replicate PHP 5 behaviour
 */
function microtime_float()
{
    list($usec, $sec) = explode(" ", microtime());
    return ((float)$usec + (float)$sec);
}

$time_start = microtime_float();

// Sleep for a while
usleep(100);

$time_end = microtime_float();
$time = $time_end - $time_start;

echo "Did nothing in $time seconds\n";
?>

A convenient way to write the current time / microtime as formatted string in your timezone as expression?



<?php

$nowDate = 'DateTime  now is: ' . (new \DateTime(null,(new \DateTimeZone('Europe/Berlin'))))->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');



$microDate = 'Microtime now is: ' . date_create_from_format( 'U.u', number_format(microtime(true), 6, '.', ''))->setTimezone((new \DateTimeZone('Europe/Berlin')))->format('ymd H:i:s.u e');

?>



For the microtime expression only the procedural style can be used. If you do not use namespaces the backslashes may be removed.

PHP >= 5.4 needed due to accessing a member of a newly created object in a single expression "(new DateTime())->format('Y-m-d H:i:s.u')"



DateTime  now is: 2018-06-01 14:54:58 Europe/Berlin

Microtime now is: 180601 14:54:58.781716 Europe/Berlin

how to set nonce value with microtime 18-Aug-2017 10:50


Using microtime() to set 'nonce' value:



ini_set("precision", 16);

$nonce="nonce=".microtime(true)/0.000001;

Daniel Rhodes 27-Aug-2013 12:54


But note that the default 'precision' setting of PHP* - which is used when a float is converted to a stringy format by echo()ing, casting or json_encode()ing etc - is not enough to hold the six digit accuracy of microtime(true).



Out of the box, microtime(true) will echo something like:



1377611450.1234



Which is obviously less than microsecond accuracy. You'll probably want to bump the 'precision' setting up to 16 which will echo something like:



1377611450.123456



*Internally* it will be accurate to the six digits even with the default 'precision', but a lot of things (ie. NoSQL databases) are moving to all-text representations these days so it becomes a bit more important.



* 14 at the time of writing

Get date time with milliseconds



$micro_date = microtime();

$date_array = explode(" ",$micro_date);

$date = date("Y-m-d H:i:s",$date_array[1]);

echo "Date: $date:" . $date_array[0];



Test accuracy by running it in a loop.

Russell G. 03-May-2013 08:34


Note that the timestamp returned is "with microseconds", not "in microseconds". This is especially good to know if you pass 'true' as the parameter and then calculate the difference between two float values -- the result is already in seconds; it doesn't need to be divided by a million.

You can use one variable to check execution $time as follow:





<?php


$time = -microtime(true);


$hash = 0;


for ($i=0; $i < rand(1000,4000); ++$i) {


    $hash ^= md5(substr(str_shuffle("0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"), 0, rand(1,10)));


}


$time += microtime(true);


echo "Hash: $hash iterations:$i time: ",sprintf('%f', $time),PHP_EOL;


?>

I have been getting negative values substracting a later microtime(true) call from an earlier microtime(true) call on Windows with PHP 5.3.8



Produces negative values

------------------------------

for($i = 0; $i<100; $i++) {

    $x =  microtime(true);

    //short calculation

    $y = microtime(true);

    echo ($y-$x) . "\n"; // <--- mostly negatives

}



Calling usleep(1) seems to work

---------------------------------------

for($i = 0; $i<100; $i++) {

    $x =  microtime(true);

    //short calculation

    usleep(1);

    $y = microtime(true);

    echo ($y-$x) . "\n"; // <--- fixed now

}

I use this for measure duration of script execution. This function should be defined (and of couse first call made) as soon as possible.



<?php

/**

 * get execution time in seconds at current point of call in seconds

 * @return float Execution time at this point of call

 */

function get_execution_time()

{

    static $microtime_start = null;

    if($microtime_start === null)

    {

        $microtime_start = microtime(true);

        return 0.0; 

    }    

    return microtime(true) - $microtime_start; 

}

get_execution_time();



?>



However it is true that result depends of gettimeofday() call. ([jamie at bishopston dot net] wrote this & I can confirm)

If system time change, result of this function can be unpredictable (much greater or less than zero).

All these timing scripts rely on microtime which relies on gettimebyday(2)



This can be inaccurate on servers that run ntp to syncronise the servers

time.



For timing, you should really use clock_gettime(2) with the

CLOCK_MONOTONIC flag set.



This returns REAL WORLD time, not affected by intentional clock drift.



This may seem a bit picky, but I recently saw a server that's clock was an

hour out, and they'd set it to 'drift' to the correct time (clock is speeded

up until it reaches the correct time)



Those sorts of things can make a real impact.



Any solutions, seeing as php doesn't have a hook into clock_gettime?

gettimeofday-should-never-be-used-to-measure-time

Robin Leffmann 24-Dec-2010 12:07


While doing some experiments on using microtime()'s output for an entropy generator I found that its microsecond value was always quantified to the nearest hundreds (i.e. the number ends with 00), which affected the randomness of the entropy generator. This output pattern was consistent on three separate machines, running OpenBSD, Mac OS X and Windows.

 

The solution was to instead use gettimeofday()'s output, as its usec value followed no quantifiable pattern on any of the three test platforms.

Need a mini benchmark ?

Use microtime with this (very smart) benchmark function :



mixed mini_bench_to(array timelist[, return_array=false])

return a mini bench result



-the timelist first key must be 'start'

-default return a resume string, or array if return_array= true :

'total_time' (ms) in first row

details (purcent) in next row



example :

<?php

unset($t);    // if previous used



//-- zone to bench

$t['start'] = microtime(true);

$tab_test=array(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8);

$fact=1;

$t['init_values'] = microtime(true);

foreach ($tab_test as $key=>$value)

{

    $fact=$fact*$value;

}

$t['loop_fact'] = microtime(true);

echo "fact = ".$fact."\n";

//-- END zone to bench



echo "---- string result----\n";

$str_result_bench=mini_bench_to($t);

echo $str_result_bench; // string return

echo "---- tab result----\n";

$tab_result_bench=mini_bench_to($t,true);

echo var_export($tab_result_bench,true);

?>

this example return:



---- string result----

total time : 0.0141 ms

start -> init_values : 51.1 %

init_values -> loop_fact : 48.9 %

---- tab result----

array (

  'total_time' => 0.0141,

  'start -> init_values' => 51.1,

  'init_values -> loop_fact' => 48.9,

)



The function to include :



<?php

function mini_bench_to($arg_t, $arg_ra=false) 

  {

    $tttime=round((end($arg_t)-$arg_t['start'])*1000,4);

    if ($arg_ra) $ar_aff['total_time']=$tttime;

    else $aff="total time : ".$tttime."ms\n";

    $prv_cle='start';

    $prv_val=$arg_t['start'];



    foreach ($arg_t as $cle=>$val)

    {

        if($cle!='start')    

        {

            $prcnt_t=round(((round(($val-$prv_val)*1000,4)/$tttime)*100),1);

            if ($arg_ra) $ar_aff[$prv_cle.' -> '.$cle]=$prcnt_t;

            $aff.=$prv_cle.' -> '.$cle.' : '.$prcnt_t." %\n";

            $prv_val=$val;

            $prv_cle=$cle;

        }

    }

    if ($arg_ra) return $ar_aff;

    return $aff;

  }

?>

Rather than using the list() function, etc. I have found the following code to be a bit cleaner and simpler:

<?php

$theTime = array_sum( explode( ' ' , microtime() ) );

echo $theTime;

# Displays "1212018372.3366"

?>

Of the methods I've seen here, and thought up myself, to convert microtime() output into a numerical value, the microtime_float() one shown in the documentation proper(using explode,list,float,+) is the slowest in terms of runtime.



I implemented the various methods, ran each in a tight loop 1,000,000 times, and compared runtimes (and output). I did this 10 times to make sure there wasn't a problem of other things putting a load spike on the server. I'll admit I didn't take into account martijn at vanderlee dot com's comments on testing accuracy, but as I figured the looping code etc would be the same, and this was only meant as a relative comparison, it should not be necessary.



The above method took on average 5.7151877 seconds, while a method using substr and simply adding strings with . took on average 3.0144226 seconds. rsalazar at innox dot com dot mx's method using preg_replace used on average 4.1819633 seconds. This shows that there are indeed differences, but for normal use noone is going to notice it.



Note that the substr method mentioned isn't quite the one given anonymously below, but one I made based on it:

<?php

$time=microtime();

$timeval=substr($time,11).substr($time,1,9);

?>



Also worth noting is that the microtime_float() method gets faster, and no less accurate, if the (float) conversions are taken out and the variables are simply added together.



Any of the methods that used + or array_sum ended up rounding the result to 2 digits after the decimal point, while (most of) the ones using preg_replace or substr and . kept all the digits.



For accurate timing, since floating-point arithmetic would lose precision, I stored microtime results as-is and calculated time difference with this function:

<?php

function microtime_used($before,$after) {

    return (substr($after,11)-substr($before,11))

        +(substr($after,0,9)-substr($before,0,9));

}

?>

A lot of the comments here suggest adding in the following way:  (float)$usec + (float)$sec

Make sure you have the float precision high enough as with the default precision of 12, you are only precise to the 0.01 seconds.  

Set this in you php.ini file.

        precision    =  16

I like to use bcmath for it

<?php

function micro_time() {

    $temp = explode(" ", microtime());

    return bcadd($temp[0], $temp[1], 6);

}



$time_start = micro_time();

sleep(1);

$time_stop = micro_time();



$time_overall = bcsub($time_stop, $time_start, 6);

echo "Execution time - $time_overall Seconds";

?>
