Why Profile?
Because your assumptions of how things work behind the scenes are not
always correct. By profiling your code you can identify where the
bottlenecks are quantitatively.
How?
PECL to the rescue!
www:~> pear install apd
downloading apd-0.4p1.tgz ...
...done: 39,605 bytes
16 source files, building
running: phpize
PHP Api Version : 20020918
Zend Module Api No : 20020429
Zend Extension Api No : 20021010
building in /var/tmp/pear-build-root/apd-0.4p1
running: /tmp/tmprFlAqf/apd-0.4p1/configure
running: make
apd.so copied to /tmp/tmprFlAqf/apd-0.4p1/apd.so
install ok: apd 0.4p1
Then in your php.ini file:
zend_extension = "/usr/local/lib/php/apd.so"
apd.dumpdir = /tmp
It isn't completely transparent. You need to tell the profiler
when to start profiling. At the top of a script you want to profile, add this call:
<?php
apd_set_pprof_trace();
?>
The use the command-line tool called pprofp:
wwww: ~> pprofp
pprofp <flags> <trace file>
Sort options
-a Sort by alphabetic names of subroutines.
-l Sort by number of calls to subroutines
-m Sort by memory used in a function call.
-r Sort by real time spent in subroutines.
-R Sort by real time spent in subroutines (inclusive of child calls).
-s Sort by system time spent in subroutines.
-S Sort by system time spent in subroutines (inclusive of child calls).
-u Sort by user time spent in subroutines.
-U Sort by user time spent in subroutines (inclusive of child calls).
-v Sort by average amount of time spent in subroutines.
-z Sort by user+system time spent in subroutines. (default)
Display options
-c Display Real time elapsed alongside call tree.
-i Suppress reporting for php builtin functions
-O <cnt> Specifies maximum number of subroutines to display. (default 15)
-t Display compressed call tree.
-T Display uncompressed call tree.
