substr() 97.518%

The $str[] test took 0.815 seconds.
The substr() test took 0.8357 seconds.

Nitty-Gritty

Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 178,253 loops for a total of 3,565,060 runs.

Line execution difference (0.000006) milliseconds.
Avg difference (1.037) milliseconds per 178,253 loops.
Total difference 20.74 milliseconds for 3,565,060 loops

The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (9.8241) milliseconds and Code 2 was (8.3175) 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];
