sebastianbergmann/php-timer

This system is a PHP library providing high-resolution timing and resource usage measurement utilities. It exposes a Timer class with nanosecond precision, a Duration value object, and a ResourceUsageFormatter that calculates memory and time consumption relative to the start of a server request. The codebase is maintained with strict static analysis and modernized build automation using Composer and PHPUnit.

The library now includes dedicated exception classes for timer-related errors: NoActiveTimerException is thrown when an operation requires an active timer but none is running, and TimeSinceStartOfRequestNotAvailableException is thrown when the time since the start of the request cannot be determined. These exceptions implement the new Exception interface, which extends PHP's Throwable, providing a structured way to handle timer-specific failures.

A new PHP script, \build/scripts/extract-release-notes.php\, has been added to the build tooling. This utility allows users to extract the release notes for a specific version tag from the \ChangeLog.md\ file, facilitating the automation of release processes when tags are pushed.

The PHP\_Timer class has been removed from the codebase. This class previously provided static methods for timing operations, including starting/stopping timers, formatting elapsed time, and calculating resource usage based on server request time. Its removal eliminates the dependency on this specific timing utility.

The project has replaced its legacy PEAR packaging with a modern Composer-based workflow, removing the \package.xml\ file entirely. Build and tool management now rely on Phive for binaries (such as PHP-CS-Fixer and PHPStan) and Composer for dependencies, orchestrated via an Ant \build.xml\ script. Configuration files for PHPStan (level 10), PHPUnit, and PHP-CS-Fixer have been added to standardize code quality checks, while \.gitattributes\ and \.gitignore\ have been updated to exclude build artifacts and tool directories from repository exports.

The timer functionality has been restructured to improve precision and reliability. A new \Duration\ value object now encapsulates time with nanosecond granularity, replacing previous float-based calculations. The \Timer\ class now uses \hrtime()\ for high-resolution timing and returns \Duration\ objects upon stopping. Additionally, a new \ResourceUsageFormatter\ class handles the formatting of time and memory consumption, explicitly relying on \$\_SERVER\['REQUEST\_TIME\_FLOAT'\]\ for request-start time calculations and throwing a specific exception if it is unavailable, thereby removing reliance on less reliable server variables.

The test suite for the timer component has been updated to use PHPUnit 10's attribute-based syntax (e.g., \#\[CoversClass\]) instead of legacy annotations, and the data provider methods are now static. The old \Tests/TimerTest.php\ file was removed and replaced with new tests in the \tests/\ directory that cover the new \Duration\ and \ResourceUsageFormatter\ classes, ensuring correct formatting of time and memory usage, including edge cases where \$\_SERVER\['REQUEST\_TIME\_FLOAT'\]\ is unavailable.

Tests · high confidence

The local PHP development environment now uses PHPStan 2.2.16, upgraded from previous minor versions, alongside phpstan-strict-rules 2.0.12 and ergebnis/phpstan-rules 2.14.0. This update brings stricter static analysis checks to the codebase, including new rules for named arguments and parameter handling, and ensures compatibility with PHP 8.6.

tools/.phpstan · high confidence

The project's \composer.json\ and the isolated PHPStan tooling manifest (\tools/.phpstan/composer.json\) have been updated to use the latest major versions of their development dependencies. Specifically, \phpunit/phpunit\ is now constrained to \^13.3.5\ and \phpstan/phpstan\ to \^2.2.16\, along with their respective extensions (\phpstan-strict-rules\, \ergebnis/phpstan-rules\). This ensures that static analysis and testing run against the most recent tooling versions, which may include new features, bug fixes, or breaking changes in the analysis engine itself.
