Nitty-Gritty
Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 262,718 loops for a total of 5,254,360 runs.
- Line execution difference (0.000011) milliseconds.
- Avg difference (2.807) milliseconds per 262,718 loops.
- Total difference 56.14 milliseconds for 5,254,360 loops
The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (4.5582) milliseconds and Code 2 was (5.8307) 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, "fgets()", was:
$fp = fopen('supplement/dummy.inc', 'rt');
while (!feof($fp))
$GLOBALS['dummy2'] = rtrim(fgets($fp));
fclose($fp);
