The file() test took 0.9165 seconds.
Nitty-Gritty
Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 231,697 loops for a total of 4,633,940 runs.
- Line execution difference (0.000003) milliseconds.
- Avg difference (0.626) milliseconds per 231,697 loops.
- Total difference 12.51 milliseconds for 4,633,940 loops
The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (5.2477) milliseconds and Code 2 was (4.5613) milliseconds. The lower and the closer together there values are the more accurate the results are.
Code
The first test, "file()", was:
$lines = file('supplement/dummy.inc');
foreach ($lines as $line)
$GLOBALS['dummy2'] = rtrim($line);
The second test, "file_get_contents()", was:
$lines = explode("\n", str_replace(array("\r\n", "\r"), "\n", file_get_contents('supplement/dummy.inc')));
foreach ($lines as $line)
$GLOBALS['dummy2'] = $line;
