The system() test took 1.03 seconds.
The shell_exec() test took 1.0552 seconds.
Nitty-Gritty
Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 283,255 loops for a total of 5,665,100 runs.
- Line execution difference (0.000004) milliseconds.
- Avg difference (1.261) milliseconds per 283,255 loops.
- Total difference 25.21 milliseconds for 5,665,100 loops
The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (0.9301) milliseconds and Code 2 was (1.2136) milliseconds. The lower and the closer together there values are the more accurate the results are.
Code
The first test, "system()", was:
system('ls');
The second test, "shell_exec()", was:
echo shell_exec('ls');
