My PHP script to use this object now looks like this:
<?php
include ('phptimer.inc');
$timer = new PHP_timer;
$timer->start();
$timer->addmarker('marker 1');
$timer->stop();
$timer->debug();
$timer->showtime();
?>
and will return to me something like:
Script execution debug information:
| Marker | Time | Diff |
| Start | 968594548.36899100 | – |
| here be marker 1 | 968594548.36970100 | 0.000710 |
| Stop | 968594548.37014500 | 0.000444 |
0.001154
Last Word
I’ve intended this script to be a quick and easy way for programmers to debug lock ups
and timing problems in their scripts. Therefore I haven’t included any error checking
code. Also use a bit of common sense about where you put markers in your code – inside
a loop that is iterating through a database is probably not a good idea. Once before
and one after the loop would be a better idea.

I have started working on some ways of improving the debug information and output with
graphs and being able to nest or group markers, but this should be a start on debugging your scripts.
