The PHP Benchmark

The PHP Benchmark: "Right now this page has a huge amount of attention by the international website programming community. Because of this I've had many many different opinions emailed to me about what people think about these results and how they were found. Keep sending them in.

This project has been a long time dream for me and I'd love to keep on learning about what I'm doing right / wrong and how we should approach this topic. If you have any information / opinions that you would like to share (especially about the larger bottleneck problems), please contact me via my portfolio.

PHPBench.com was constructed as a way to open people's eyes to the fact that not every PHP code snippet will run at the same speed. You may be surprised at the results that this page generates, but that is ok. This page was also created so that you would be able to find discovery in these statistics and then maybe re-run these tests in your own server environment to play around with this idea yourself, by using the code examples (these code examples are automatically generated and as the code in my .php files change, so do they).

NOTE: You must keep in mind to refresh this page a few times to 'catch' the right result. The numbers change sometimes drastically during each refresh. I assume that this is because of PHP's memory garbage collector that drops in randomly and also other processes"
