In this tutorial, you will learn how to test\/detect your internet connection speed using the latest PHP version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First of all, create a new PHP file index.php<\/code> and add the following code to it. After that open this file using a server like Apache, Nginx, etc. As you probably want to test this script in a development environment so I would recommend you to use XAMPP.<\/p>\n\n\n\nindex.php<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<?php\n$kb = 1024;\necho "Streaming $kb Kb...<!-";\nflush();\n$time = explode(" ",microtime());\n$start = $time[0] + $time[1];\n\nfor($x = 0; $x < $kb; $x++)\n{\n echo str_pad('', 1024, '.');\n flush();\n}\n\n$time = explode(" ",microtime());\n$finish = $time[0] + $time[1];\n$deltat = $finish - $start;\necho "-><br \/>Test finished in $deltat seconds<br \/>";\necho "Your internet speed is ". round($kb \/ $deltat, 3)."Kb\/s";\n?><\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\nCode Explanation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
$kb<\/code> and set its value to 1024<\/code>. Basically, we will use this variable in a for<\/code> loop to specify the number of iterations.<\/li>microtime()<\/code> function at the start and end of the for<\/code> loop to track the start\/end time of the loop.<\/li>$deltat<\/code> that will hold the value of “loop finish time” minus “loop start time”. It means that this variable will tell us how much time was taken by the for<\/code> loop to finish.<\/li>$kb<\/code> variable with $deltat<\/code> and rounding the value to 3 decimal places using the round()<\/code> function.<\/li><\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
