Nitty-Gritty
Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 132,983 loops for a total of 2,659,660 runs.
- Line execution difference (0.000012) milliseconds.
- Avg difference (1.562) milliseconds per 132,983 loops.
- Total difference 31.25 milliseconds for 2,659,660 loops
The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (0.8904) milliseconds and Code 2 was (2.7763) 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']));
