## Description

php-timer is a set of utilities for measuring, tracking, and formatting the execution duration and memory consumption of PHP code segments. It functions as an execution timer and performance profiling utility to analyze resource consumption.

The project provides capabilities to track the duration between start and stop triggers in seconds, milliseconds, or nanoseconds. It also includes a resource usage tracker that converts raw execution timestamps and memory bytes into human-readable text strings for reporting.

The tool covers performance profiling, resource monitoring, and request duration tracking. These capabilities allow for the calculation of elapsed time and memory usage from the start of a process to a specific execution point.
