Profiling a PHP Web Page

This procedure describes how to profile whole applications, projects, files or collections of files that are already on the server. Using the profiling process, you can also create an application in Zend Studioand publish it to the server before profiling.

Note:

Your server must be running the Zend Debugger in order for remote debugging and profiling capabilities to function.
The Zend Debugger comes bundled with Zend Studio and Zend Server.
