How to get server response time using PHP

Question

I needed a script in php that checked for a normal HTTP response from another server like http://www.example.com, a status script to see if the other server(s) where behaving as they should.

Anybody can help me?

You can do simply with help of cURL in php. You can send request and view exact time of request.

<?php
  if(!isset($_GET['url']))
  die("enter url");
  $ch = curl_init($_GET['url']); //get url http://www.xxxx.com/cru.php?url=http://www.example.com
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
  if(curl_exec($ch))
  {
  $info = curl_getinfo($ch);
  echo 'Took ' . $info['total_time'] . ' seconds to transfer a request to ' . $info['url'];
  }

  curl_close($ch);
?>
