This is a quick function I wrote to parse out the 'microtime()' feature, and deal with the results mathmatically. Since microtime() returns the milliseconds, then a space, then the unix timestamp, using the results from microtime() itself weren't conducive to quick math. We had some pages here that we needed to time down to the millisecond, so we used this. :)

<?
 function getmicrotime() {
 $temparray=split(" ",microtime());
 $returntime=$temparray[0]+$temparray[1];

                            return $returntime;

                            }
 ?>

Usage Example

<?
 function getmicrotime() {
 $temparray=split(" ",microtime());
 $returntime=$temparray[0]+$temparray[1];

                            return $returntime;

                            }

                            
 $starttime=getmicrotime();
 sleep(2);
 $endtime=getmicrotime();

                            

                            print $endtime-$starttime;
 ?>
