Nitty-Gritty

Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 131,010 loops for a total of 2,620,200 runs.

Line execution difference (0.000011) milliseconds.
Avg difference (1.457) milliseconds per 131,010 loops.
Total difference 29.14 milliseconds for 2,620,200 loops

The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (2.0200) milliseconds and Code 2 was (3.3113) milliseconds. The lower and the closer together there values are the more accurate the results are.

Code

The first test, "strstr()", was:

for ($j = 0; $j < 100; $j++)
	$GLOBALS['dummy2'] = strstr($GLOBALS['dummy'], '3456') != '';

The second test, "strpos()", was:

for ($j = 0; $j < 100; $j++)
	$GLOBALS['dummy2'] = strpos($GLOBALS['dummy'], '3456') !== false;
