Nitty-Gritty
Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 171,508 loops for a total of 3,430,161 runs.
- Line execution difference (0.000003) milliseconds.
- Avg difference (0.000) milliseconds per 171,508 loops.
- Total difference 11.41 milliseconds for 3,430,161 loops
The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (0.0000) milliseconds and Code 2 was (0.0000) milliseconds. The lower and the closer together there values are the more accurate the results are.
Code
The first test, "substr_compare", was:
$test = substr_compare($GLOBALS['dummy'], 'ghi', 6, 3) === 0;
The second test, "strpos", was:
$test = strpos($GLOBALS['dummy'], 'ghi', 6) === 6;
