# getTimeStart()

```php
/**
 * This method is used to get the time start of the promise.
 */
public function getTimeStart(): float;
```

This method will return the real-time calculated by the [**`microtime(true)`**](https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.microtime.php) function when that promise is initialized.
