Query time result in MySQL w/ PHP

Question

Is there a way that I can get the time of a MySQL query (specifically with PHP)? The actual time it took to complete the query, that is.

Something such as: Results 1 - 10 for brown. (0.11 seconds)

I tried to look for an example, to no avail. Here is an example of my code:

                    // prepare sql statement
                $stmt = $dbh->prepare("SELECT ijl, description, source, user_id, timestamp FROM Submissions WHERE MATCH (ijl, description) AGAINST (?)");

                // bind parameters
                $stmt->bindParam(1, $search, PDO::PARAM_STR);

                // execute prepared statement
                $stmt->execute();

For my current full text search using a MyISAM table engine. Any help would be incredible. Thank you.

Answer 1

$starttime = microtime(true);

//Do your query and stuff here

$endtime = microtime(true);
$duration = $endtime - $starttime; //calculates total time taken

NOTE that this will give you the run time in seconds(not microseconds) to the nearest microsecond due to get_as_float parameter being true. See this
