timer

timer

This method serves as a high-precision execution tracker using PHP's microtime. It allows for measuring the total duration of a script or specific code blocks, with built-in support for lap intervals. This is particularly useful for profiling performance and identifying slow-running processes.

Usage

timer(bool $lap = false): float

Parameters

lap (bool) : Captures the elapsed time from the start without stopping the timer, allowing for multi-stage profiling. ^(optional)^

Return Value

(float) : Returns the elapsed microtime on lap or stop calls; returns 0 on start.

Examples

$fx->timer() = 0 (start of timer)
$fx->timer(true) = 0.00035 (lap interval from start)
$fx->timer() = 0.00164 (stop of timer)

Config Options

Config Key	Default Value	Allowed Values	Description
dp	5	integers	Decimal points
Note: Anything less than 3 decimal places will probably return 0.
override	false	bool	Can override the dp minimum of 5.
