Result: Discarded
The test labeled "create_function()" was the faster by 0.0471 seconds, (7.988% faster)
The create_function() test took 0.543 seconds.
The eval() test took 0.5902 seconds.
Nitty-Gritty
Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 152,450 loops for a total of 3,049,000 runs.
- Line execution difference (0.000015) milliseconds.
- Avg difference (2.357) milliseconds per 152,450 loops.
- Total difference 47.15 milliseconds for 3,049,000 loops
The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (4.7323) milliseconds and Code 2 was (0.9545) milliseconds. The lower and the closer together there values are the more accurate the results are.
Code
The first test, "eval()", was:
eval(' $x = 0; $x += 5; if ($x >= 5) $x = 0; $x; $x;');
The second test, "create_function()", was:
/* $GLOBALS['dummy'] = create_function('', ' $x = 0; $x += 5; if ($x >= 5) $x = 0; $x; $x;'); */ $GLOBALS['dummy']();
