The explode() test took 0.8079 seconds.
Nitty-Gritty
Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 184,608 loops for a total of 3,692,160 runs.
- Line execution difference (0.000027) milliseconds.
- Avg difference (5.030) milliseconds per 184,608 loops.
- Total difference 100.59 milliseconds for 3,692,160 loops
The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (3.6713) milliseconds and Code 2 was (7.5346) milliseconds. The lower and the closer together there values are the more accurate the results are.
Code
The first test, "preg_split()", was:
$GLOBALS['dummy2'] = preg_split('~\r\n|\r|\n~', $GLOBALS['dummy']);
The second test, "explode()", was:
$GLOBALS['dummy2'] = explode("\n", str_replace(array("\r\n", "\r"), "\n", $GLOBALS['dummy']));
