PHP library to estimate time remaining for a list of tasks.

When processing a batch of items that takes a long time to run, this library can be used to to calculate and display the estimated time remaining.

[2/12]: Cow porchetta labore shankle (0:33)
[3/12]: Filet mignon porchetta eiusmod tri-tip (0:28)

Installation and Usage

This package can be installed via composer.

composer require petenelson/progress-estimator

Here is some example code below, and be sure to check the examples.php file for a working implementation.

require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

$items = get_large_list_of_items();
$count = count($items);

// Create the progress estimator.
$estimator = new \PHPEstimator\ProgressEstimator($count);

// Loop through the list of items to process.
for ($i=0; $i < $count; $i++) {

	// Perform some work on each item.
	some_long_running_process_here($items[$i]);

	// Increments the counter and saves the execution time of that item.
	$estimator->tick();

	// Display the current item processed and estimated time remaining.
	$output = sprintf(
		'Processed: %1$s (%2$s)' . PHP_EOL,
		$i,
		$estimator->formatTime($estimator->timeLeft())
	);

	echo $output;
}
