Why is this microtime showing up weird in PHP

php

Solution

E-5 is scientific notation. Seems to happen when you concatenate it with the string value. Try using number_format... ?

print "Time4: ". number_format($end4 - $start4, 10)."<br />";

//or use:               printf(".10f", $end - $start)

Problem

Why is this microtime showing up weird in PHP ``` $start4 = microtime(true); // run some php code $end4 = microtime(true); print "Time4: ". ($end4 - $start4)."<br />"; ``` The above is showing: Time4: 2.69412994385E-5 Something with a more complex, longer running process shows up like this instead: Time1: 0.000292062759399
