It looks really good, though I'm not able to try your code out. For some reason EasyPHP don't support public- and private-declarations.

I've some small suggestions to your code. Now when you're working with a class, then why don't you encapsulate $starttime, $endtime, $elapsed and $timername? This would give your code a better design, and the user will not be able to reach the variables directly, they've to use the functions. Beside that, you usually don't initialize the variables where you're doing it. It's done in the constructor (__construct())

Very nice, I've got this working flawlessly :)

I'm glad you could make use of it. Just out of curiosity - what did you use it for?

Hi there everyone can some one help me with finding or creating a count up timer so i can see how long a page is open and store on my database so that i can see what pages are more popular this sort of code i have been looking for and have not come across it and so need it, all i can find is execution times (load times for pages) i think there pointless becase its uninteresting and pointless as they all load within 1 second or less.


please help if you can, thank you.
