The file_exists() test took 1.0696 seconds.
Nitty-Gritty
Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 285,472 loops for a total of 5,709,440 runs.
- Line execution difference (0.000009) milliseconds.
- Avg difference (2.595) milliseconds per 285,472 loops.
- Total difference 51.91 milliseconds for 5,709,440 loops
The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (6.4634) milliseconds and Code 2 was (1.4892) milliseconds. The lower and the closer together there values are the more accurate the results are.
Code
The first test, "file_exists()", was:
clearstatcache(); if (!file_exists('supplement/dummy.inc')) trigger_error('Required file not found!', E_USER_ERROR); include('supplement/dummy.inc');
The second test, "require", was:
clearstatcache(); require('supplement/dummy.inc');
