59<h1>Profiling Your Application</h1>
60
61<p>The Profiler Class will display benchmark results, queries you have run, and $_POST data at the bottom of your pages.
62This information can be useful during development in order to help with debugging and optimization.</p>
63
64
65<h2>Initializing the Class</h2>
66
67<p class="important"><strong>Important:</strong>&nbsp; This class does <kbd>NOT</kbd> need to be initialized. It is loaded automatically by the
68<a href="../libraries/output.html">Output Class</a> if profiling is enabled as shown below.</p>
69
70<h2>Enabling the Profiler</h2>
71
Derek Jonesee71c802010-03-10 10:05:05 -060072 <p>To enable the profiler place the following function anywhere within your <a href="controllers.html">Controller</a> functions:</p>
73 <code>$this->output->enable_profiler(TRUE);</code>
Derek Allard2067d1a2008-11-13 22:59:24 +000074
Derek Jonesee71c802010-03-10 10:05:05 -060075 <p>When enabled a report will be generated and inserted at the bottom of your pages.</p>
Derek Allard2067d1a2008-11-13 22:59:24 +000076
Derek Jonesee71c802010-03-10 10:05:05 -060077 <p>To disable the profiler you will use:</p>
78 <code>$this->output->enable_profiler(FALSE);</code>
79
Derek Allard2067d1a2008-11-13 22:59:24 +000080
81<h2>Setting Benchmark Points</h2>
82
Derek Jonesee71c802010-03-10 10:05:05 -060083 <p>In order for the Profiler to compile and display your benchmark data you must name your mark points using specific syntax.</p>
Derek Allard2067d1a2008-11-13 22:59:24 +000084
Derek Jonesee71c802010-03-10 10:05:05 -060085 <p>Please read the information on setting Benchmark points in <a href="../libraries/benchmark.html">Benchmark Class</a> page.</p>

Derek Jonesee71c802010-03-10 10:05:05 -060088<h2>Enabling and Disabling Profiler Sections</h2>
89
Derek Jonesf0b39942010-03-25 10:08:20 -050090 <p>Each section of Profiler data can be enabled or disabled by setting a corresponding config variable to <var>TRUE</var> or <var>FALSE</var>. This can be done one of two ways. First, you can set application wide defaults with the <dfn>application/config/profiler.php</dfn> config file.</p>
Derek Jonesee71c802010-03-10 10:05:05 -060091
92 <code>$config['config']&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;= FALSE;<br />
93 $config['queries']&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;= FALSE;<br /></code>
94
95 <p>In your controllers, you can override the defaults and config file values by calling the <kbd>set_profiler_sections()</kbd> method of the <a href="../libraries/output.html">Output class</a>:</p>
96
97 <code>$sections = array(<br />
98 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;'config' &nbsp;=> TRUE,<br />
99 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;'queries' => TRUE<br />
100 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;);<br />
101 <br />
102 $this->output->set_profiler_sections($sections);</code>
103
104 <p>Available sections and the array key used to access them are described in the table below.</p>
