PHP Performance Profiling

[andygrant]

Hi

I have created a PHP site but have noticed the pages seem to be running a bit slow.

I heard a way to find bottlenecks is to Profile your code, however I am using a shared server and don't have access to the php.ini file so I think this stops me from using Xdebug that many sites recommend.

Therefore I was wondering if anyone knew good ways to Profile code that doesn't require access to php.ini.

Thanks

microtime()

Crude, but effective enough.

There's also the pear Benchmark class which basically uses microtime() but adds some additional glitter.

Or could move the code to a development server which you control? A development server could be your own local computer too.
