The mt_rand() test took 0.55 seconds.
The rand() test took 0.5612 seconds.
Nitty-Gritty
Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 125,418 loops for a total of 2,508,360 runs.
- Line execution difference (0.000004) milliseconds.
- Avg difference (0.563) milliseconds per 125,418 loops.
- Total difference 11.26 milliseconds for 2,508,360 loops
The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (5.4576) milliseconds and Code 2 was (4.6184) 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);
