The test labeled "explode()" was the faster by 0.0527 seconds, (4.219% faster)
The explode() test took 1.1963 seconds.
The preg_split() test took 1.249 seconds.
Nitty-Gritty
Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 286,251 loops for a total of 5,725,020 runs.
- Line execution difference (0.000009) milliseconds.
- Avg difference (2.635) milliseconds per 286,251 loops.
- Total difference 52.69 milliseconds for 5,725,020 loops
The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (12.4740) milliseconds and Code 2 was (7.6245) 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']));
