Nitty-Gritty

Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 268,607 loops for a total of 5,372,140 runs.

Line execution difference (0.000005) milliseconds.
Avg difference (1.249) milliseconds per 268,607 loops.
Total difference 24.97 milliseconds for 5,372,140 loops

The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (1.8392) milliseconds and Code 2 was (2.3772) 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;
