gettimeofday

Description

mixed gettimeofday ( [bool return_float] )

This is an interface to gettimeofday(2). It returns an associative array containing the data returned from the system call.

Since PHP 5.1.0 there is an optional parameter, return_float, which makes gettimeofday() return a float when it is set to TRUE.

Array keys:

• "sec" - seconds since the Unix Epoch

• "usec" - microseconds

• "minuteswest" - minutes west of Greenwich

• "dsttime" - type of dst correction

Example 1. gettimeofday() example <?php print_r(gettimeofday()); echo gettimeofday(true); ?> The above example will output something similar to: Array ( [sec] => 1073504408 [usec] => 238215 [minuteswest] => 0 [dsttime] => 1 ) 1073504408.23910
