Historical Results
Based on (63) saved test runs, The test labeled "scandir()" was (on average) the faster by 0.0095 seconds, (1.252% faster)
The scandir() test took 0.7486 seconds.
The glob(GLOB_NOSORT) test took 0.7581 seconds.
Nitty-Gritty
Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 193,412 loops for a total of 3,868,244 runs.
- Line execution difference (0.000002) milliseconds.
- Avg difference (0.000) milliseconds per 193,412 loops.
- Total difference 9.49 milliseconds for 3,868,244 loops
The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (0.0000) milliseconds and Code 2 was (0.0000) milliseconds. The lower and the closer together there values are the more accurate the results are.
Code
The first test, "scandir()", was:
clearstatcache();
$result = array();
foreach (scandir($GLOBALS['basedir'] . '/tests') as $file)
{
if (!is_dir($basedir . '/' . $file))
{
$result[] = $file;
}
}
The second test, "glob(GLOB_NOSORT)", was:
clearstatcache();
$result = array();
foreach (glob($GLOBALS['basedir'] . '/tests/*', GLOB_NOSORT) as $file)
{
if (!is_dir($file))
{
$result[] = $file;
}
