[PHP] Not important - Simple question about microsec()

2001-04-03 Thread SED

Hi,

I was wandering what the result from microsec() means:

I tested the time in the begin and in the end of my code and got the
following result:

Begin:  0.70278800 986354975

End:0.08970900 986354975

I think the latter part of the value is Unix-time in sec (right?), but what
does the former part say like: 0.25576700 ?!?

I read in the manual it should be the 1/100 of seconds but it does not
compute in my brain, how come is the End time lower than the Begin time?
Probably I'm thinking of it the wrong way, but I hope you can light me :)

Regards,
SED

For some reason, microtime() returns results backwards - the first part is the
decimal portion of the second part.

As for the time being returned in properly, are you by any chance running this
on Windows? I seem to recall reading something in bugs.php.net about that when
I ran into some benchmark problems with code which worked properly on Unix and
returned results like you showed on Windows ("Wow! This sure is a fast computer
- it finished before it started!").
