processing time?

[ryan010101]

I just want to display how long it took a page to process. For example on search engines it will say "search took .07 seconds". I'm assuming there is a server variable, but I can't find it.

thanks

this is fairly simple to do
all you need is to declare a var for the time
<% Dim starttime = now %>

now that you have that you have something to work against. Use the datadiff function to get the total time (in seconds I hope) for the start of the page and time it completed the load

<%=datediff(&quot;s&quot;,starttime,now) & &quot; seconds&quot;%>
what we did here was said = (short cut for response.write)
datediff in seconds between the var starttime which holds the value that the page was in a sense hit first and the time now.
so if the user entered at
starttime = 3:18:01
and then when the code for the datediff ran after the page loaded the main body etc.. was 3:18:03
your result will output (write) 2 seconds to the screen


hope that helps out Just a suggestion: faq183-874
