What is XHProf?

XHProf is a hierarchical profiler for PHP. It reports function-level call counts and inclusive and exclusive metrics such as wall (elapsed) time, CPU time and memory usage. A function's profile can be broken down by callers or callees. The raw data collection component is implemented in C as a PHP Zend extension called xhprof. XHProf has a simple HTML based user interface (written in PHP). The browser based UI for viewing profiler results makes it easy to view results or to share results with peers. A callgraph image view is also supported.

See official documentation

What does this Symfony 2 Bundle do?

This bundle helps you to easily use the XHProf bundle with the web debug toolbar in Symfony 2.

Installation

Make sure you have XHProf installed. If you are on a mac you can easily install it via Macports sudo port install php5-xhprof

Get the bundle

To install the bundle, place it in the src/Jns/Bundle directory of your project (so that it lives at src/Jns/Bundle/XhprofBundle). You can do this by adding the bundle as a submodule, cloning it, or simply downloading the source.

git submodule add https://github.com/jonaswouters/XhprofBundle.git src/Jns/Bundle/XhprofBundle

Add the Jns namespace to your autoloader

If this is the first Jns bundle in your Symfony 2 project, you'll need to add the Jns namespace to your autoloader. This file is usually located at app/autoload.php.

$loader->registerNamespaces(array(
    'Jns'                       => __DIR__.'/../src'
    // ...
));

Initializing the bundle

To initialize the bundle, you'll need to add it in your kernel. This file is usually located at app/AppKernel.php. Loading it only in your dev environment is recommended.

public function registerBundles()
{
    // ...

    if (in_array($this->getEnvironment(), array('dev', 'test'))) {
        // ...
        $bundles[] = new Jns\Bundle\XhprofBundle\JnsXhprofBundle();
    }
)

Configure the XHProf locations.

The Bundle comes preconfigured for the macports php5-xhprof default installation, with the xhprof web located at http://xhprof.localhost. To change these settings for your environment you can override the defaults by defining the following settings in your config. The config is usually located at app/config/config.yml.

jns_xhprof:
    location_lib:   /opt/local/www/php5-xhprof/xhprof_lib/utils/xhprof_lib.php
    location_runs:  /opt/local/www/php5-xhprof/xhprof_lib/utils/xhprof_runs.php
    location_web:   http://xhprof.localhost
    enabled:        true
