Function to get current CPU load as percentage value under Windows and Linux.

Note: Function is getServerLoad(). It will return a decimal value as percentage of current CPU load or NULL if something went wrong (e. g. insufficient access rights).

<?php

    header("Content-Type: text/plain");

    function _getServerLoadLinuxData()
    {
        if (is_readable("/proc/stat"))
        {
            $stats = @file_get_contents("/proc/stat");

            if ($stats !== false)
            {
                // Remove double spaces to make it easier to extract values with explode()
                $stats = preg_replace("/[[:blank:]]+/", " ", $stats);

                // Separate lines
                $stats = str_replace(array("\r\n", "\n\r", "\r"), "\n", $stats);
                $stats = explode("\n", $stats);

                // Separate values and find line for main CPU load
                foreach ($stats as $statLine)
                {
                    $statLineData = explode(" ", trim($statLine));

                    // Found!
                    if

Here is another one that also works on windows. Note that this method is not fast, so be careful in the number of calls to this function.

<?php
function get_server_load() {
    
        if (stristr(PHP_OS, 'win')) {
        
            $wmi = new COM("Winmgmts://");
            $server = $wmi->execquery("SELECT LoadPercentage FROM Win32_Processor");
            
            $cpu_num = 0;
            $load_total = 0;
            
            foreach($server as $cpu){
                $cpu_num++;
                $load_total += $cpu->loadpercentage;
            }
            
            $load = round($load_total/$cpu_num);
            
        } else {
        
            $sys_load = sys_getloadavg();
            $load = $sys_load[0];
        
        }
        
        return (int) $load;
    
    }
?>

It is important to note that sys_getloadavg() does not return a percentage, and the numbers that it returns are completely meaningless if you do not know the number of CPU cores. To get the number as a percentage you need to divide the value by the number of CPU cores in the system. (eg: if the value is 0.5 and you have two cores, then you are using 25% of the CPU on average). Here is a simple function to get the values as a percent:

<?php
function percentloadavg(){
    $cpu_count = 1;
    if(is_file('/proc/cpuinfo')) {
        $cpuinfo = file_get_contents('/proc/cpuinfo');
        preg_match_all('/^processor/m', $cpuinfo, $matches);
        $cpu_count = count($matches[0]);
    }

    $sys_getloadavg = sys_getloadavg();
    $sys_getloadavg[0] = $sys_getloadavg[0] / $cpu_count;
    $sys_getloadavg[1] = $sys_getloadavg[1] / $cpu_count;
    $sys_getloadavg[2] = $sys_getloadavg[2] / $cpu_count;

    return $sys_getloadavg;
}
?>

I was having a problem with a large script I need to run - was a loop through about 50,000 records and downloading several pictures for a bunch of them, and updating the database.

the problem came as I started getting visitors to my site, the server would get behind, run out of memory, iowait skyrockets, mysql slows down... was a total downhill spiral.

Use this to fix it.

$load = sys_getloadavg();
$sleep=5;
$maxload=2;
if ($load[0] > $maxload) {
       sleep($sleep);
    echo "Busy server - sleep $sleep seconds<br>";
}

I have to play with the load and the sleep number to find what worked for my script, but now my server does not bog at all.

To get just current load avg, you can do :



<?php

$output = shell_exec('cat /proc/loadavg');

$loadavg = substr($output,0,strpos($output," "));

?>

The code below mimics the output of sys_getloadavg(). You may have to tweak the way the substring is captured for different distros.



<?php



function sys_getloadavg_hack()

{

    $str = substr(strrchr(shell_exec("uptime"),":"),1);

    $avs = array_map("trim",explode(",",$str));



    return $avs;

}



print_r(sys_getloadavg_hack());



// Array

// (

//     [0] => 6.24

//     [1] => 4.92

//     [2] => 3.99

// )



?>



This function is a neat way of running low priority or non-essential cron jobs on a busy server - if the load is high, don't continue with the task (and try again in a few minutes time).

Use this:
<?php
$loads=sys_getloadavg();
$core_nums=trim(shell_exec("grep -P '^physical id' /proc/cpuinfo|wc -l"));
$load=$loads[0]/$core_nums;
echo $load;

the codes below will provide this function for order versions of PHP.
if (!function_exists('sys_getloadavg')) {
    function sys_getloadavg()
    {
        $loadavg_file = '/proc/loadavg';
        if (file_exists($loadavg_file)) {
            return explode(chr(32),file_get_contents($loadavg_file));

        return array(0,0,0);

simple function to get the cpu load with availability to most os platforms because I haven't actually been able to find a similar protocol if you happen to be testing out various os platforms...

function cpu_load():?string {
    $load='';
    if(strtolower(PHP_OS_FAMILY)=="windows") {
        exec("wmic cpu get loadpercentage /all",$out);
        if($out) {
            foreach($out as $line) {
                if($line&&preg_match("/^[0-9]+\$/",$line)) {
                    $load=$line;
                    break;
                }

You can emulate loadavg using this. Can also be used to get iowait



<?php

   function ProcStats()

   {    

       $fp=fopen("/proc/stat","r");

       if(false===$fp)

               return false;

       $a=explode(' ',fgets($fp));

       array_shift($a); //get rid of 'cpu'

       while(!$a[0])

           array_shift($a); //get rid of ' '

       var_dump($a);

       fclose($fp);

       return $a;

   }



   $a=ProcStats();

   sleep(5);

   $b=ProcStats();



   

   $total=array_sum($b)-array_sum($a);

   

   $loadavg = round(100* (($b[0]+$b[1]+$b[2]) - ($a[0]+$a[1]+$a[2])) / $total, 2); // user+nice+system

   $iowait= round(100* ($b[4] - $a[4])/$total,2);
