The rand() test took 0.7844 seconds.
Nitty-Gritty
Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 161,443 loops for a total of 3,228,860 runs.
- Line execution difference (0.000010) milliseconds.
- Avg difference (1.559) milliseconds per 161,443 loops.
- Total difference 31.19 milliseconds for 3,228,860 loops
The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (6.1388) milliseconds and Code 2 was (5.8482) milliseconds. The lower and the closer together there values are the more accurate the results are.
Code
The first test, "rand()", was:
$GLOBALS['dummy'] = rand(0, 1000);
The second test, "mt_rand()", was:
$GLOBALS['dummy'] = mt_rand(0, 1000);
