Nitty-Gritty

Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 274,227 loops for a total of 5,484,540 runs.

Line execution difference (0.000004) milliseconds.
Avg difference (1.002) milliseconds per 274,227 loops.
Total difference 20.04 milliseconds for 5,484,540 loops

The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (0.5794) milliseconds and Code 2 was (0.6193) 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);
