如果你像这样格式化秒的输出，它会更漂亮:

echo "Process took ". number_format(microtime(true) - $start, 2). " seconds.";

将打印

Process took 6.45 seconds.

这比

Process took 6.4518549156189 seconds.

我创建了一个ExecutionTime类的phihag答案，你可以使用开箱即用:

class ExecutionTime
{
     private $startTime;
     private $endTime;

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

     public function end(){
         $this->endTime = getrusage();
     }

     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 " . $this->runTime($this->endTime, $this->startTime, "utime") .
        " ms for its computations\nIt spent " . $this->runTime($this->endTime, $this->startTime, "stime") .
        " ms in system calls\n";
     }
 }

用法:

$executionTime = new ExecutionTime();
$executionTime->start();
// code
$executionTime->end();
echo $executionTime;

注意:在PHP 5中，getrusage函数只适用于类unix系统。从PHP 7开始，它也可以在Windows上工作。

在页面底部居中打印的小脚本，在服务器调用时以微秒精度开始脚本执行。

为了不扭曲结果，并与页面中的内容100%兼容，我使用浏览器端本地javascript代码段在页面上编写结果。

//Uncomment the line below to test with 2 seconds 
//usleep(2000000);

$prec = 5; // numbers after comma
$time = number_format(microtime(true) - $_SERVER['REQUEST_TIME_FLOAT'], $prec, '.', '');
echo "<script>
    if(!tI) { 
        var tI=document.createElement('div');
        tI.style.fontSize='8px';
        tI.style.marginBottom='5px';
        tI.style.position='absolute';
        tI.style.bottom='0px';
        tI.style.textAlign='center';
        tI.style.width='98%';
        document.body.appendChild(tI);
    }
    tI.innerHTML='$time';
</script>";

另一种方法是使代码片段尽可能小，并使用样式表中的类对其进行样式化。

替换回显…;与以下部分分开: echo "<script>if(!tI){var tI=document.createElement('div');tI. classname ='ldtme';document.body.appendChild(tI);}tI. innerhtml ='$time'; 在CSS中创建并填充.ldtme{…}类。

developerfusion.com的Gringod给出了一个很好的答案:

<!-- put this at the top of the page --> 
<?php 
   $mtime = microtime(); 
   $mtime = explode(" ",$mtime); 
   $mtime = $mtime[1] + $mtime[0]; 
   $starttime = $mtime; 
;?> 

<!-- put other code and html in here -->


<!-- put this code at the bottom of the page -->
<?php 
   $mtime = microtime(); 
   $mtime = explode(" ",$mtime); 
   $mtime = $mtime[1] + $mtime[0]; 
   $endtime = $mtime; 
   $totaltime = ($endtime - $starttime); 
   echo "This page was created in ".$totaltime." seconds"; 
;?>

从(http://www.developerfusion.com/code/2058/determine-execution-time-in-php/)

如果你需要的是挂钟时间，而不是CPU执行时间，那么计算起来很简单:

//place this before any script you want to calculate time
$time_start = microtime(true); 

//sample script
for($i=0; $i<1000; $i++){
 //do anything
}

$time_end = microtime(true);

//dividing with 60 will give the execution time in minutes otherwise seconds
$execution_time = ($time_end - $time_start)/60;

//execution time of the script
echo '<b>Total Execution Time:</b> '.$execution_time.' Mins';
// if you get weird results, use number_format((float) $execution_time, 10) 

注意，这将包括PHP等待外部资源(如磁盘或数据库)的时间，而max_execution_time没有使用这个时间。
