vbMicroStats: page load time, queries, GZIP and PHP version

[high]Looking for VB3 version? Is here.[/high]

This hack will add at the bottom of each vBulletin(powered) page the following stats:
- load time of specified page in microseconds (with custom no. of digits to show)
- number of queries executed
- server GZIP library compression status
- vBulletin DEBUG mode
- PHP version
- PHP percent page usage
- MySQL percent page usage
- Server Load
[high]This is not only estethic, it will also help you troubleshoot any wierd queries that you have in your scripts.
The hack is template based so you can edit it the way you want in few seconds.[/high]
NOTE: From users experiences, this hack will work only with PHP 4.0.6 or higher. Let me know if it works with a lower PHP version.

THE FIX FOR VB2.3.0 IS HERE.

HACK UPDATES
Version 2.1
------------------------------------
Changes:
- added Server Load

NOTE: I spoked with Kevin 'tubedogg' from vBulletin Support team and he explained to me that not all the servers are configured to support the [high]@exec("uptime")[/high].
Contact your host for more details and ask them about this issue.
For a full explanation of your 3 server load values, read more here.

*If you want to have the stats viewable only by admins, read this post.

Version 2.0
------------------------------------
Changes:
- added vBulletin DEBUG Mode
- removed the Details link
- cleaned a little the code to match VB2.2.6
- better explanations into the install file.

Version 1.7
------------------------------------
[high]VB2.2.5:[/high]
Minor change in admin/db_mysql.php. Read more here on how to update your hack.
Minor change in forum/global.php. Read more here on how to update your hack.

Changes:
- corrected negative values on certain servers.

Version 1.6
------------------------------------
Changes:
- PHP version and GZIP library status viewable only to admin.

You also have the choice to install it as template based or coded directly into your functions.php file.

contact your host and ask him to upgrade asap. older php code have bugs.

Hi Nakkid,
thanks for your reply. I've read all that, but he doesnt really go into detail. Well, the newest verison of PHP is installed on my server, so that's not the problem. I do admit I have some hacks installed on 2.2.5 and I guess that's what's causing the problems. However, I dont want to miss out on those hacks. The hacks I have installed are the same ones FireFly has here and he's obviously got the vbmicrostats working, so theoretically there must be some way that it should also work for me ... It's really a pity that it's such a senstive, although cool script.

greetings Tina.

you edited admin/global.php

tina, the hack should not interfere with any other one.. it's all related to microtime.

[Erwin]

I've got over a hundred hacks on my forum, and this hack does not interfere with any of them.

[Admin]

nakkid, you are using an undefined constant in your code (DEBUG). This causes the "Debug Mode" flag to be on no matter what.

[TECK]

you are referring at $PHP_SELF? it doesnt really matter since i want to read the actual file i view. let me know if i'm correct.

No, I am talking about DEBUG - a constand. You have in your code something like this:

$debug = (DEBUG) ? 'Debug Mode' : '';

Which is not correct, because there is no such constant. Not in PHP nor in vBulletin.
And since vBulletin runs on error reporting level of 7, PHP doesn't warn you and treats it as a string. And since that string always evaluates to TRUE, you will always get 'Debug Mode'.

[TECK]

you are right firefly... doughh.. :cross-eyed:
here it is what i did:
---------------------------------
in functions.php add $debug, before $microstats, like that:

PHP Code:

global $pagestarttime,$query_count,$showqueries,$querytime,$DB_site,$gzipoutput,$gziplevel,$bbuserinfo,$debug,$microstats; 


then i inserted this code:

PHP Code:

if ($debug==0) {
  $debugmode="";
} else {
  $debugmode="(Debug mode)"; 


should i use the define();? all i want to do is check what is the DEBUG mode on the apache server. let me know if the code is reliable. thanks.

[Admin]

Apache's configuration has nothing to do with PHP. $debug is a variable set by vBulletin (well, the admin sets it in config.php if he wants to use debugging options). Debug mode refers to vBulletin, not PHP / the server.
