在unix系统上(在Windows上的php 7+中也是如此)，你可以使用getrusage，像这样:

// Script start
$rustart = getrusage();

// Code ...

// Script end
function rutime($ru, $rus, $index) {
    return ($ru["ru_$index.tv_sec"]*1000 + intval($ru["ru_$index.tv_usec"]/1000))
     -  ($rus["ru_$index.tv_sec"]*1000 + intval($rus["ru_$index.tv_usec"]/1000));
}

$ru = getrusage();
echo "This process used " . rutime($ru, $rustart, "utime") .
    " ms for its computations\n";
echo "It spent " . rutime($ru, $rustart, "stime") .
    " ms in system calls\n";

注意，如果要为每个测试生成一个php实例，则不需要计算差异。

进一步扩展Hamid的回答，我写了一个可以重复启动和停止的helper类(用于在循环中进行分析)。

   class ExecutionTime
   {
      private $startTime;
      private $endTime;
      private $compTime = 0;
      private $sysTime = 0;

      public function Start(){
         $this->startTime = getrusage();
      }

      public function End(){
         $this->endTime = getrusage();
         $this->compTime += $this->runTime($this->endTime, $this->startTime, "utime");
         $this->systemTime += $this->runTime($this->endTime, $this->startTime, "stime");
      }

      private function runTime($ru, $rus, $index) {
         return ($ru["ru_$index.tv_sec"]*1000 + intval($ru["ru_$index.tv_usec"]/1000))
         -  ($rus["ru_$index.tv_sec"]*1000 + intval($rus["ru_$index.tv_usec"]/1000));
      }

      public function __toString(){
         return "This process used " . $this->compTime . " ms for its computations\n" .
                "It spent " . $this->systemTime . " ms in system calls\n";
      }
   }

talal7860回答的简短版本

<?php
// At start of script
$time_start = microtime(true); 

// Anywhere else in the script
echo 'Total execution time in seconds: ' . (microtime(true) - $time_start);

正如所指出的，这是“wallclock时间”而不是“cpu时间”

最便宜也是最麻烦的方法是在代码中想要进行基准测试的地方进行microtime()调用。在数据库查询之前和之后执行它，从脚本执行时间的其余部分中删除这些持续时间就很简单了。

提示:PHP执行时间很少会导致脚本超时。如果一个脚本超时，它几乎总是调用外部资源。

PHP微时间文档: http://us.php.net/microtime

$_SERVER[REQUEST_TIME“]

看看这个。即。

...
// your codes running
...
echo (time() - $_SERVER['REQUEST_TIME']);

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

// As of PHP 5.4.0, 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";
?>
