Nitty-Gritty

Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 283,159 loops for a total of 5,663,180 runs.

Line execution difference (0.000015) milliseconds.
Avg difference (4.120) milliseconds per 283,159 loops.
Total difference 82.39 milliseconds for 5,663,180 loops

The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (8.7943) milliseconds and Code 2 was (9.0943) 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));
