PHP Quick Profiler
Have you ever wanted a Firebug for PHP? Thanks to Twitter I came across the PHP Quick Profiler or PQP for short. It is a script that was developed by the team at Wufoo that helps analyze and debug performance of PHP scripts. An example of this script in use can be found at: http://particletree.com/examples/pqp/. Discovering this is actually very timely for me because we have just recently finished up a large web based management module and it could use some optimization.
This cool little tool is actually very powerful. It can help monitor PHP Objects, analyze memory usage, monitor query performance, monitor execution time, and overall help you keep your files under control.
I will say, it was a bit difficult to get running at first. Once I was able to get it up and running it provided some pretty handy information. The authors have done a good job of documenting the installation. That being said, I have a feeling that many will have a problem getting the database configuration working. If you’re a PHP developer you should give it a try. It is a handy tool and something that I have always felt should be built directly into PHP.
Anyway, that’s enough rambling. They have good information over on their site so go check it out:
