Hi Omar,
Have you looked at microtime()?

Here's a random article of how you can use it in measuring code execution time:

hi TheServant,
thanks for the reply
i looked into these links bu i am trying to calculate the time for the upload before uploading the file

the client has required that if a file takes more than 5 mins then it should time out

, now i was looking for a way to get the upload time before uploading or saving the file . where as what this solution provides is the time to check the execution time for a specific page or script

Still a little unclear...

a way to get the upload time before uploading or saving the file

I think that the upload will depend on server/user traffic, so this would a be a very big estimate.
Your main goal would be to determine current upload speed when requested.

I am sorry, but I really must get to bed, but I found some pages which you may not have seen:
