Nitty-Gritty

Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 293,308 loops for a total of 5,866,160 runs.

Line execution difference (0.000011) milliseconds.
Avg difference (3.232) milliseconds per 293,308 loops.
Total difference 64.63 milliseconds for 5,866,160 loops

The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (3.0646) milliseconds and Code 2 was (6.4354) milliseconds. The lower and the closer together there values are the more accurate the results are.

Code

The first test, "substr()", was:

for ($j = 0; $j < 1000; $j++)
	$GLOBALS['dummy2'] = substr($GLOBALS['dummy'], -1);

The second test, "$str[]", was:

for ($j = 0; $j < 1000; $j++)
	$GLOBALS['dummy2'] = $GLOBALS['dummy'][strlen($GLOBALS['dummy'])-1];
