    Hi Guys,

    I need your help, anyone who did a utility to test speed of connection or bandwidth test. I did one but inaccurate (sucks ). The logic behind on what i did was i count the seconds on how long a user donwload the image file. Everytime they do a test im renaming the image file so that it will not store to the cache. Any ideas guys, im stock or do i need really a 3rd party software for this one like speedtest.net.

    Thanks,

    Mike

    I don't personally know of any pre-made scripts that will allow you to do this, but I think that javascript or flash are going to be the best way to actually do it. You may want to check in a Javascript or flash forum, and see if you can get a better response there. Since php is executed on the server, it doesn't have the ability to measure the time it takes to actually stream information to the user from the server.
