The rand() test took 1.2425 seconds.
Nitty-Gritty
Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 262,021 loops for a total of 5,240,420 runs.
- Line execution difference (0.000015) milliseconds.
- Avg difference (3.822) milliseconds per 262,021 loops.
- Total difference 76.44 milliseconds for 5,240,420 loops
The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (6.6343) milliseconds and Code 2 was (7.9461) 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);
