<?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”

$_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";
?>

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

我写了一个检查剩余执行时间的函数。

警告:执行时间计数在Windows和Linux平台上是不同的。

/**
 * Check if more that `$miliseconds` ms remains
 * to error `PHP Fatal error:  Maximum execution time exceeded`
 * 
 * @param int $miliseconds
 * @return bool
 */
function isRemainingMaxExecutionTimeBiggerThan($miliseconds = 5000) {
    $max_execution_time = ini_get('max_execution_time');
    if ($max_execution_time === 0) {
        // No script time limitation
        return true;
    }
    if (strtoupper(substr(PHP_OS, 0, 3)) === 'WIN') {
        // On Windows: The real time is measured.
        $spendMiliseconds = (microtime(true) - $_SERVER["REQUEST_TIME_FLOAT"]) * 1000;
    } else {
        // On Linux: Any time spent on activity that happens outside the execution
        //           of the script such as system calls using system(), stream operations
        //           database queries, etc. is not included.
        //           @see http://php.net/manual/en/function.set-time-limit.php
        $resourceUsages = getrusage();
        $spendMiliseconds = $resourceUsages['ru_utime.tv_sec'] * 1000 + $resourceUsages['ru_utime.tv_usec'] / 1000;
    }
    $remainingMiliseconds = $max_execution_time * 1000 - $spendMiliseconds;
    return ($remainingMiliseconds >= $miliseconds);
}

使用:

while (true) {
    // so something

    if (!isRemainingMaxExecutionTimeBiggerThan(5000)) {
        // Time to die.
        // Safely close DB and done the iteration.
    }
}

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。
