Result: Discarded
The test labeled "rand()" was the faster by 0.0424 seconds, (7.265% faster)
The rand() test took 0.5408 seconds.
The mt_rand() test took 0.5832 seconds.
Nitty-Gritty
Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 133,237 loops for a total of 2,664,740 runs.
- Line execution difference (0.000016) milliseconds.
- Avg difference (2.118) milliseconds per 133,237 loops.
- Total difference 42.37 milliseconds for 2,664,740 loops
The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (1.8768) milliseconds and Code 2 was (2.9475) 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);
