A talk on blackfire.io which is easy to use profiling for your PHP apps.

REQUIREMENTS

4. https://blackfire.io/getting-started#installation

Install the Agent with your server credentials from :
https://blackfire.io/account/credentials#server

INSTALLATION

5. You can run it via a convenient chrome extension or the command line.
(I did not have enough time to figure out how to get it working with a vagrant box setup but the
chrome extension would work like magic with a native dev environment)
In my case I am using the command line tool, you can run it like this:
blackfire --slot=7 --samples=10 run ./my-script.php --your-script-options and arguments
Output:
Profiling: [########################################] 10/10
