Open-source PHP profiler

2007-09-18 20:57:33 by Martynas Jusevičius

We were looking for a simple open-source PHP profiler, without any fancy IDEs like Zend bundled together. After a little search, we found one: Xdebug, debugger and profiler tool for PHP. It installs as a PHP extension. When you execute your scripts, it simply writes debug information into a file. You can later open and analyze it with a special viewer: KCachegrind for Linux or WinCacheGrind for Windows.

Digg this! del.icio.us!

There is also PECL::APD which is solely focused on being a profiler.

I've been using Xdebug with eclipse for some time now, but solely for debugging. I never knew about this profiling thing until now. This will give me much deeper insight of my code.

I am profiling too!

...I recommend these tools for anyone that wants to make their PHP project faster and need to know where to start...

Great Tip!

Thanks for the link to Xdebug.
Great extension for our database scripts.

Any one can help?

unfortunate, i know Xdebug is not compatible with Zend optimizer while all my code was encoding by Zend. have anyways to use XDebug in this case?

PhpED built-in profiler

There's also Nusphere PhpED's built-in profiler, but I never managed to run it (as of 2008-Jul-10). I posted at http://support.nusphere.com/viewtopic.php?p=20687 . So far, no replies.
