# gettimeofday

(PHP 3 >= 3.0.7, PHP 4, PHP 5)

gettimeofday -- Возвращает текущее время

## Описание

array gettimeofday ( void )

Эта функция является интерфейсом к системному вызову gettimeofday(2). Она возвращает ассоциативный массив, содержащий информацию, полученную от системной функции.

- "sec" - секунды

- "usec" - микросекунды

- "minuteswest" - смещение к западу от Гринвича, в минутах

- "dsttime" - тип коррекции летнего времени

Пример 1. Пример использования функции gettimeofday()

`<?php print_r(gettimeofday()); ?>`

Вывод будет выглядеть так:

    Array
    (
        [sec] => 1073504408
        [usec] => 238215
        [minuteswest] => 0
        [dsttime] => 1
    )

`do you realy think that convertion to String and back to float can be fast??
this function runs 10 times faster than utime() :
function fastUtime()
{
$t = gettimeofday();
return (float) ($t['sec'] + $t['usec'] / 1000000.0);
}`

`A small improvement on getTimer. Using vsprintf instead of sprintf there is no need to assign the array:
<?php
function utime()
{
return (float) (vsprintf('%d.%06d', gettimeofday()));
}
?>
In a test on my machine getTimer took 0.037519 seconds to run through 1000 iterations versus 0.027912 seconds for utime. In total, utime runs about 25% quicker. The use is negligible in an actual benchmarking scenario, but this could provide a slightly more accurate estimate. Of course the time it takes to run the function could always be stored at the start and subtracted from your total value each time it is run.`

`Since USLEEP doesn't work under windows, you need to come up with your own fix. gettimeofday() can access useconds on a windows box, so this little function using gettimeofday() will do the trick.
function wait($usecs){
$temp=gettimeofday();
$start=(int)$temp["usec"];
while(1){
$temp=gettimeofday();
$stop=(int)$temp["usec"];
if ($stop-$start >= $usecs) break;
}
}
The smallest amount of time it seems to work with is around 200usecs, but if you wait() anything higher than 200usecs it's pretty close.`
