Query time result in MySQL w/ PHP

Question

Is there a way that I can get the time of a MySQL query (specifically with PHP)? The actual time it took to complete the query, that is.

Something such as: Results 1

Answer 1

There are two possibilities I can tell you now:

• wrap ->execute() with microtime() and measure it yourself, possibly wrapping whole "querying" code snippet within a class / function
• run EXPLAIN query of that query and see if you can read some values from the returned data

Hope that helps.
