    Why reinventing the wheel?

    See php microtime()'s manual entry on http://cz.php.net/microtime, and look for example named "Example #1 Timing script execution with microtime()" or "Example #2 Timing script execution in PHP 5".

    It is more accurate, because it returns number of miliseconds as well.
