Ever seen pages like "This page loaded in x.xxxxxxx seconds"?!

I'll teach you (or more or less show you) how to do that!

We start of with a (simple?) class!

<?

class timer
{

  var $name;
  var $start;
  var $end;
  var $totaltime;
  var $formatted;

  // Starts the timer
  function timer()
  {
    $this->add();
  }

  function add()
  {
    if( !$this->start ) {
      $mtime1 = explode( " ", microtime() );
      $this->start = $mtime1[1] + $mtime1[0];
    }
  }

  // Return the timer time
  function gettime()
  {
    if( $this->end )
    {
      return $this->totaltime;
    }
    elseif( $this->start &amp;&amp; !$this->end )
    {
      $mtime2 = explode( " ", microtime() );
      $currenttime = $mtime2[1] + $mtime2[0];
      $totaltime = $currenttime - $this->start;
      return $this->format( $totaltime );
    }
    else
    {
      return false;
    }
  }

  // Stops the timer
  function stop()
  {
    if( $this->start )
    {
      $mtime2 = explode( " ", microtime() );
      $this->end = $mtime2[1] + $mtime2[0];
      $totaltime = $this->end - $this->start;
      $this->totaltime = $totaltime;
      $this->formatted = $this->format( $totaltime );
      return $this->formatted;
    }
  }

  // Removes the timer
  function remove()
  {
    $this->name = "";
    $this->start = "";
    $this->end = "";
    $this->totaltime = "";
    $this->formatted = "";
  }

  // Formats the string $string
  function format($string)
  {
    return number_format( $string, 7 );
  }

}

?>

So there, we have our class.

Now we want to start the timer, so do this;

<?

// Our time foo.
$timer = new timer();
$time = $timer->stop();
$ze_time += $timer->totaltime;
$timer->remove();

// Show the result
echo $ze_time;

?>

Hopefully you understand it, if not PM moi.

Sorry I can't explain it, as I said in my previous tutorial- in a rush. :((

Thanks!
