Measure Elapsed Time with the Convenience Timer

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.StartTiming, which starts or restarts the object's convenience timer. The ElapsedSeconds property then reports the whole number of seconds since the call.

<?php

use Chilkat2\Socket;

$socket = new Socket();

// Start (or restart) the object's convenience timer.
$socket->StartTiming();

// Perform some work.  (Here the thread simply sleeps to let time pass.)
$socket->SleepMs(1500);

// Read the whole number of seconds elapsed since StartTiming was called.
echo 'Elapsed seconds: ', $socket->ElapsedSeconds, "\n";
