Based on (7) saved test runs, The test labeled "glob(GLOB_NOSORT)" was (on average) the faster by 0.0196 seconds, (2.203% faster)
The glob(GLOB_NOSORT) test took 0.8721 seconds.
The scandir() test took 0.8918 seconds.
Nitty-Gritty
Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 184,659 loops for a total of 3,693,171 runs.
- Line execution difference (0.000005) milliseconds.
- Avg difference (0.000) milliseconds per 184,659 loops.
- Total difference 19.64 milliseconds for 3,693,171 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;
}
