switch
Code evaluation script which uses debug_backtrace() to get execution time in ns, relative current line number, function, file, and calling function info on each tick, and shove it all in $script_stats array. See debug_backtrace manual to customize what info is collected.
Warning: this will exhaust allowed memory very easily, so adjust tick counter according to the size of your code. Also, array_key_exists checking on debug_backtrace arrays is removed here only to keep this example simple, but should be added to avoid a large number of resulting PHP Notice errors.
<?php
$script_stats = array();
$time = microtime(true);
function track_stats(){
global $script_stats,$time;
$trace = debug_backtrace();
$exe_time = (microtime(true) - $time) * 1000;
$func_args = implode(", ",$trace[1]["args"]);
$script_stats[] = array(
"current_time" => microtime(true),
"memory" => memory_get_usage(true),
"file" => $trace[1]["file"].': '.$trace[1]["line"],
"function" => $trace[1]["function"].'('.$func_args.')',
"called_by" => $trace[2]["function"].' in '.$trace[2]["file"].': '.$trace[2]["line"],
"ns" => $exe_time
);
$time = microtime(true);
}
declare(ticks = 1);
register_tick_function("track_stats");
// the rest of your project code
// output $script_stats into a html table or something
?>
declare
Конструкцията declare се използва за установяване на изпълними директиви за блокове от код. Синтаксисът на declare е подобен на този на другите конструкции за управление на потока:
declare (directive) statement
Разделът directive позволява да се установява поведението на declare блок. Към момента се разпознава само една директива: ticks. (Вж. по-долу за повече информация за директивата ticks)
Частта statement от блока declare ще бъде изпълнена -- как ще се изпълни и какви странични ефекти ще настъпят по време на изпълнението може да зависи от директивата указана в блока directive.
Конструкцията declare може също да се използва и в глобален обхват, като по този начин ще се отрази на целия код, който я следва.
<?php
// тези са равносилни:
// можете да използвате това:
declare(ticks=1) {
// целия скрипт тук
}
// или да използвате това:
declare(ticks=1);
// целия скрипт тук
?>
Тиквания
Тик (tick) е събитие, което се случва
на всеки N инструкции от ниско ниво,
изпълнени от синтактичния анализатор в declare блок.
Стойността на N се задава посредством
ticks=N
в рамките на directive на блока declare.
Събитията, които се случват на всяко тикване, се задават посредством register_tick_function(). За повече подробности, вж. примера по-долу. Забележете, че за едно тикване, могат да настъпят повече от едно събития.
Example #1 Профил на част от PHP код
<?php
// Функция, която записва времето, когато е извикана
function profile($dump = FALSE)
{
static $profile;
// Връща времената, записани в профила и ги изтрива
if ($dump) {
$temp = $profile;
unset ($profile);
return $temp;
}
$profile[] = microtime ();
}
// Установяване на обработчик на тикове
register_tick_function("profile");
// Инициализиране на функцията преди деклариращия блок
profile();
// Пускане на блок от код, хвърляне на тик на всеки втори израз
declare(ticks=2) {
for ($x = 1; $x < 50; ++$x) {
echo similar_text(md5($x), md5($x*$x)), "<br />;";
}
}
// Показване на данните, записани в профила
print_r(profile (TRUE));
?>
Тиковете са подходящи за откриване на грешки, осъществяване на проста многозадачност, фонов вход/изход и други.

If you misspell the directive, you won't get any error or warning. The declare block will simply act as a nest for statements:
<?php
declare(tocks="four hundred")
{
// Has no affect on code and produces
// no error or warning.
}
?>

rosen_ivanov's solution can be replaced by a simple call to memory_get_peak_usage() if you're running at least PHP 5.2.0

As Chris already noted, ticks doesn't make your script multi-threaded, but they are still great. I use them mainly for profiling - for example, placing the following at the very beginning of the script allows you to monitor its memory usage:
<?php
function profiler($return=false) {
static $m=0;
if ($return) return "$m bytes";
if (($mem=memory_get_usage())>$m) $m = $mem;
}
register_tick_function('profiler');
declare(ticks=1);
/*
Your code here
*/
echo profiler(true);
?>
This approach is more accurate than calling memory_get_usage only in the end of the script. It has some performance overhead though :)

The scope of the declare() call if used without a block is a little unpredictable, in my experience. It appears that if placed in a method or function, it may not apply to the calls that ensue, like the following:
<?php
function a()
{
declare(ticks=2);
b();
}
function b()
{
// The declare may not apply here, sometimes.
}
?>
So, if all of a sudden the signals are getting ignored, check this. At the risk of losing the ability to make a mathematical science out of placing a number of activities at varying durations of ticks like many people have chosen to do, I've found it simple to just put this at the top of the code, and just make it global.

as i read about ticks the first time i thought "wtf, useless crap" - but then i discovered some usefull application...
you can declare a tick-function which checks each n executions of your script whether the connection is still alive or not, very usefull for some kind of scripts to decrease serverload
<?php
function check_connection()
{ if (connection_aborted())
{ // do something here, e.g. close database connections
// (or use a shutdown function for this
exit; }
}
register_tick_function("connection");
declare (ticks=20)
{
// put your PHP-Script here
// you may increase/decrease the number of ticks
}
?>

Also note that PHP is run in a single thread and so everything it does will be one line of code at a time. I'm not aware of any true threading support in PHP, the closest you can get is to fork.
so, declare tick doens't "multi-thread" at all, it is simply is a way to automaticaly call a function every n-lines of code.

This is a very simple example using ticks to execute a external script to show rx/tx data from the server
<?php
function traf(){
passthru( './traf.sh' );
echo "<br />\n";
flush(); // keeps it flowing to the browser...
sleep( 1 );
}
register_tick_function( "traf" );
declare( ticks=1 ){
while( true ){} // to keep it running...
}
?>
contents of traf.sh:
# Shows TX/RX for eth0 over 1sec
#!/bin/bash
TX1=`cat /proc/net/dev | grep "eth0" | cut -d: -f2 | awk '{print $9}'`
RX1=`cat /proc/net/dev | grep "eth0" | cut -d: -f2 | awk '{print $1}'`
sleep 1
TX2=`cat /proc/net/dev | grep "eth0" | cut -d: -f2 | awk '{print $9}'`
RX2=`cat /proc/net/dev | grep "eth0" | cut -d: -f2 | awk '{print $1}'`
echo -e "TX: $[ $TX2 - $TX1 ] bytes/s \t RX: $[ $RX2 - $RX1 ] bytes/s"
#--= the end. =--

<?php
ob_end_clean();
ob_implicit_flush(1);
function a() {
for($i=0;$i<=100000;$i++) { }
echo "function a() ";
}
function b() {
for($i=0;$i<=100000;$i++) { }
echo "function b() ";
}
register_tick_function ("a");
register_tick_function ("b");
declare (ticks=4)
{
while(true)
{
sleep(1);
echo "\n<br><b>".time()."</b><br>\n";;
}
}
?>
You will see that a() and b() are slowing down this process. They are in fact not executed every second as expected. So this function is not a real alternative for multithreading using some slow functions..there is no difference to this way: while (true) { a(); b(); sleep(1); }

If i use ticks i must declare all functions before i call the function.
example:
Dosn't work
<?php
function ticks() {
echo "tick";
}
register_tick_function("ticks");
declare (ticks=1) 1;
echo "";
echo "";
foo(); // Call to undefined function.
function foo() {
echo "foo";
}
?>
Work
<?php
function ticks() {
echo "tick";
}
register_tick_function("ticks");
//declare (ticks=1) 1;
echo "";
echo "";
foo();
function foo() {
echo "foo";
}
?>

Correction to above note:
Apparently, the end brace '}' at the end of the statement causes a tick.
So using
------------
declare (ticks=1) echo "1 tick after this prints";
------------
gives the expected behavior of causing 1 tick.
Note: the tick is issued after the statement executes.
Also, after playing around with this, I found that it is not really the multi-tasking I had expected. It behaves the same as simply calling the functions. I.e. each function must finish before passing the baton to the next function. They do not run in parallel.
It also seems that they always run in the order in which they were registered.
So,
<?php
------------
# register tick functions
register_tick_function ("a");
register_tick_function ("b");
# make the tick functions run
declare (ticks=1);
?>
------------
is equivalent to
------------
a();
b();
------------
It is simply a convenient way to have functions called periodically while some other code is being executed. I.e. you could use it to periodically check the status of something and then exit the script or do something else based on the status.

Here is an example of multi-tasking / multi-threading:
<?php
# declare functions
function a() {
echo "a";
}
function b() {
echo "b";
}
# register tick functions
register_tick_function ("a");
register_tick_function ("b");
# make the tick functions run
declare (ticks=1);
# that's all there is to it.
?>
Notes:
This will make functions a and b run once each at the same time.
If you try:
declare (ticks=1) {
1;
}
They will run twice each. That is because it seems to be an undocumented fact that there is always an extra tick.
Therefore:
declare (ticks=2) {
1;
}
Will cause them to run once.
