README

A Symfony profiler data collector for the SPX PHP profiler, which collects and displays detailed profiling data for PHP applications. This component integrates SPX profiling directly into the Symfony web profiler for easy access to performance metrics during development.

Installation

Install the package via Composer:

composer require valksor/php-spx-profiler

Requirements

• PHP 8.4 or higher
• SPX PHP extension installed and configured
• Symfony Framework (7.2.0 or higher)
• Valksor Bundle for automatic configuration

Configuration

The SpxProfiler component has a simple configuration with a single user-configurable option:

# config/packages/valksor.yaml
valksor:
    spx_profiler:
        enabled: true    # Enable/disable the SPX profiler integration

Configuration Options

See: SpxProfilerConfiguration.php for the complete configuration schema.

Features

The SpxProfiler component provides comprehensive profiling integration for Symfony applications:

• Symfony Profiler Integration: Seamless integration with Symfony's web profiler toolbar
• SPX Data Collection: Automatic collection and display of detailed SPX profiling metrics
• Real-time Performance Metrics: Wall time, memory usage, call graphs, and execution traces
• Request Matching: Automatic matching of SPX reports with Symfony profiler requests
• Development Workflow: Streamlined profiling setup for development environments

Viewing Profiling Data

Once the component is installed and enabled, you can view profiling data in the Symfony web profiler:

1. Enable SPX profiling for a request by adding the SPX_KEY parameter to the URL or setting the SPX_ENABLED cookie to 1
2. Make a request to your application
3. Open the Symfony web profiler for that request
4. Click on the SPX tab to view the profiling data

Prerequisites

The SpxProfiler component requires the SPX PHP extension to be installed and configured separately. For SPX extension setup instructions, see the SPX documentation.
