Result: Discarded
The test labeled "echo" was the faster by 0.0147 seconds, (2.064% faster)
The echo test took 0.6965 seconds.
The <?php ?> test took 0.7112 seconds.
Nitty-Gritty
Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 165,979 loops for a total of 3,319,580 runs.
- Line execution difference (0.000004) milliseconds.
- Avg difference (0.734) milliseconds per 165,979 loops.
- Total difference 14.67 milliseconds for 3,319,580 loops
The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (1.3899) milliseconds and Code 2 was (1.8009) milliseconds. The lower and the closer together there values are the more accurate the results are.
Code
The first test, "echo", was:
for ($j = 0; $j < 100; $j++) echo 'some text';
The second test, "<?php ?>", was:
for ($j = 0; $j < 100; $j++)
{
?>some text<?php
