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.

- 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.

Version 1.6
------------------------------------

- PHP version and GZIP library status viewable only to admin.

ahh, the pic you show in the link was due to the PHP version. it was to old. what MySQL and PHP ver you run?

I'm running this on my test server on windows, which is using the following:

MySQL 3.23.32
PHP 4.0.4
Apache 1.3.14

What's the minimum I need to get this to run? If I need to upgrade my php is it an easy process? I installed a free server package for windows by Nusphere, which had everything bundled together that I needed. My actual website server, which is shared, uses php 4.0.6. Obviously, I have no way to modify that.

ya. it was his prob too. he ran PHP404. can you upgrade to PHP412 at least? i did test it to this version. i'm not sure what is the lowest version you can get it to work, but it's working for PHP 4.2.1-4.1.2 versions.

I downloaded the newest php and installed it on my windows machine. Now the hack works flawlessly! Thanks for the help and the awesome hack. Now I just have to figure out if I can cut down some of the queries.

Keep up the good work!

It works with PHP 4.0.6 just fine, too.
