这样会更清楚

<?php

$start = hrtime(true);

while (...) {
}

$duration = hrtime(true) - $start;
echo  $duration * 1000 ." -> microseconds". PHP_EOL; 
echo  $duration * 1000000 ." -> milliseconds". PHP_EOL; 
echo  $duration * 1e6 ." -> milliseconds". PHP_EOL; 

结果

37180000 -> microseconds
37180000000 -> milliseconds
37180000000 -> milliseconds

下面是我用来测量平均时间的脚本

<?php

$times = [];
$nbrOfLoops = 4;
for ($i = 0; $i < $nbrOfLoops; ++$i) {
    $start = microtime(true);
    sleep(1);
    $times[] = microtime(true) - $start;
}

echo 'Average: ' . (array_sum($times) / count($times)) . 'seconds';

这样会更清楚

<?php

$start = hrtime(true);

while (...) {
}

$duration = hrtime(true) - $start;
echo  $duration * 1000 ." -> microseconds". PHP_EOL; 
echo  $duration * 1000000 ." -> milliseconds". PHP_EOL; 
echo  $duration * 1e6 ." -> milliseconds". PHP_EOL; 

结果

37180000 -> microseconds
37180000000 -> milliseconds
37180000000 -> milliseconds

您可以用一个函数找到以秒为单位的执行时间。

// ampersand is important thing here
function microSec( & $ms ) {
    if (\floatval( $ms ) == 0) {
        $ms = microtime( true );
    }
    else {
        $originalMs = $ms;
        $ms = 0;
        return microtime( true ) - $originalMs;
    }
}

// you don't have to define $ms variable. just function needs
// it to calculate the difference.
microSec($ms);
sleep(10);
echo microSec($ms) . " seconds"; // 10 seconds

for( $i = 0; $i < 10; $i++) {
    // you can use same variable everytime without assign a value
    microSec($ms);
    sleep(1);
    echo microSec($ms) . " seconds"; // 1 second
}

for( $i = 0; $i < 10; $i++) {
    // also you can use temp or useless variables
    microSec($xyzabc);
    sleep(1);
    echo microSec($xyzabc) . " seconds"; // 1 second
}

我的方法是使用hrtime，它是为性能指标而创建的，它独立于系统时间。Hrtime不受系统时间变化的影响。hrtime自PHP 7.3.0起可用

$start = hrtime(true);
sleep(5); // do something, in your case a loop
$end = hrtime(true);
$eta = $end - $start;
// convert nanoseconds to milliseconds
$eta /= 1e+6;
echo "Code block was running for $eta milliseconds";

输出:

代码块运行了5000.495206毫秒

<?php
// Randomize sleeping time
usleep(mt_rand(100, 10000));

// REQUEST_TIME_FLOAT is available in the $_SERVER superglobal array.
// It contains the timestamp of the start of the request with microsecond precision.
$time = microtime(true) - $_SERVER["REQUEST_TIME_FLOAT"];

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