Nitty-Gritty

Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 130,714 loops for a total of 2,614,280 runs.

Line execution difference (0.000012) milliseconds.
Avg difference (1.606) milliseconds per 130,714 loops.
Total difference 32.12 milliseconds for 2,614,280 loops

The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (2.0208) milliseconds and Code 2 was (4.2176) 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);
