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.
- added a link to Detailed Stats View (generated by vBulletin), for that specific page. Only admins can view that link.

Version 1.5
------------------------------------
Added:
- GZIP library status is now related to your vBulletion options.

All you have to do is call it with the {getmicrostats} string, anywhere you want (for example in footer).
You also have the choice to install it as template based or coded directly into your functions.php file.

Version 1.2
------------------------------------
Added the PHP and MySQL page percentage.
(Addon by Chen 'FireFly' Avinadav)

Version 1.1

Thanks for the update

I'm glad it's working for two of us. Beyond Compare came to the rescue.

[freakyshiat]

The update in 306 is working for me also

[KuraFire]

The update for the new db_mysql is working for me, too.

However, the hack itself wasn't properly working before that, nor is it now. My percentages are completely odd:

Page generated in 0.4714550 seconds (163.74% PHP / -63.74% MySQL) with 20 queries

Page generated in 1.6309210 seconds (-6.54% PHP / 106.54% MySQL) with 20 queries

Page generated in -0.6399480 seconds (36.72% PHP / 63.28% MySQL) with 20 queries
(percentages good, generation time negative... wow)

I even had 5K~ and -5K~ percentages, a few times.

WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?! :'(

I am using php version 4.0.4pl1 on my own computer, might this be the cause of the problem?

[TECK]

hmm kurafire. wierd, it looks like a previous version bug.. this is how i updated the new db_mysql.php:

find:

  function query($query_string) {
    global $query_count;
    // do query

    $this->query_id = mysql_query($query_string,$this->link_id);
    if (!$this->query_id) {
      $this->halt("Invalid SQL: ".$query_string);
    }

    $query_count++;

    return $this->query_id;
  }

replace it with:

  function query($query_string) {
    global $query_count,$querytime,$pagestarttime;
    // do query

    $pageendtime=microtime();
    $starttime=explode(" ",$pagestarttime);
    $endtime=explode(" ",$pageendtime);

    $beforetime=$endtime[0]-$starttime[0]+$endtime[1]-$starttime[1];

    $this->query_id = mysql_query($query_string,$this->link_id);
    if (!$this->query_id) {
      $this->halt("Invalid SQL: ".$query_string);
    }

    $query_count++;

    $pageendtime=microtime();
    $starttime=explode(" ",$pagestarttime);
    $endtime=explode(" ",$pageendtime);

    $aftertime=$endtime[0]-$starttime[0]+$endtime[1]-$starttime[1];
    $querytime+=$aftertime-$beforetime;

    return $this->query_id;
  }

and it's working perfectly. make sure you download the latest version and follow the steps in there, you probably have 1.6 installed. also get the latest php binaries. let me know please.

[KuraFire]

I used your new code there, but it's still giving me freakish results.

I *did* 'adopt' a small change by FireFly because without it, my forum looked like a weird rainbow-thing. He said it was something to do with my low PHP version (4.0.4pl1) - might it be that this also caused the mess-up, or is it more logical that my php-version is the problem?

I tried installing new binaries of PHP but for some strange reason, the version never changed. I uninstalled and re-installed like 4 times, didn't work.

[TECK]

i know what is it!! upgrade your php binaries!! it hapened the same thing to another user who used PHP4.01. also make sure that your file says: vbMicroStats version 1.7
if it doesnt, delete all your temp files and download it again. let me know how it goes.

[GOD-Dblade]

hm...anything working with the new update?

[TECK]

what do you mean anything working with the new update?
i do not understand. if you refer to the new db_mysql.php file, read above few posts...

ok, i placed a link on the first post.. so is easy for everyone to get the new db_mysql.php file and the hack update.

[KuraFire]

nakkid: I'll try, though I think I have to uninstall apache, mysql & php all at once, before it'll work. Like I said, for some weird reason, upgrading didn't do jack sh** the past 4 times

*makes note to do this in the afternoon*

thx

Hallo Nakkid,
me again. Well I found out that my provider is not using the latest php. Hes still got php 4.0.4pl. So I guess thats my problem.

Ive asked him to install a newer version and he sais he will do soon but would like to know why. So sorry, but I have to ask you why. What version do I need and why?

regards Tina
