Result: Discarded
The test labeled "===" was the faster by 0.007 seconds, (0.690% faster)
The === test took 1.0126 seconds.
The strcmp() test took 1.0196 seconds.
Nitty-Gritty
Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 290,363 loops for a total of 5,807,260 runs.
- Line execution difference (0.000001) milliseconds.
- Avg difference (0.352) milliseconds per 290,363 loops.
- Total difference 7.04 milliseconds for 5,807,260 loops
The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (1.0020) milliseconds and Code 2 was (0.5750) milliseconds. The lower and the closer together there values are the more accurate the results are.
Code
The first test, "===", was:
for ($j = 0; $j < 100; $j++) $GLOBALS['dummy3'] = $GLOBALS['dummy1'] === $GLOBALS['dummy2'];
The second test, "strcmp()", was:
for ($j = 0; $j < 100; $j++) $GLOBALS['dummy3'] = strcmp($GLOBALS['dummy1'], $GLOBALS['dummy2']) == 0;
