The rand() test took 0.586 seconds.
Nitty-Gritty
Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 142,530 loops for a total of 2,850,600 runs.
- Line execution difference (0.000008) milliseconds.
- Avg difference (1.118) milliseconds per 142,530 loops.
- Total difference 22.37 milliseconds for 2,850,600 loops
The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (5.3618) milliseconds and Code 2 was (3.1386) 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);
