ID: 22492 Updated by: gschlossnagle@php.net Reported By: benji at daystream dot com -Status: Open +Status: Duplicate Bug Type: Performance problem Operating System: OSX PHP Version: 4.3.0 New Comment: I haven't reopened you previous bug due to the fact that you dont have a replicateable testcase and my testcase doesn't reproduce anything close to your result. This should be tracked in 6608 (which I just posted to). Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-03-01 13:02:12] benji at daystream dot com This issue was opened previously and closed without resolution two and a half years ago due to lack of feedback in bug #6608. I made a comment there but I'm not sure if closed topics are seen, so I'm opening it here. I apologize if I shouldnt have opened a new bug report. I'm running on OSX with PHP 4.3.0. The performance with a large array that uses sizeof() in a loop is very poor. It's abut 50X slower than it should be. The following takes 8-10 seconds: for ($i=1;$i<=sizeof($spell);$i++) { $sentence=str_replace($spell[$i][0],$spell[$i][1],$sentence); } Whereas the following takes only .18 seconds: $end=sizeof($spell); for ($i=1;$i<=$end;$i++) { $sentence=str_replace($spell[$i][0],$spell[$i][1],$sentence); } Other notes that might help: the array is stored in a file accessed by require_once(), and the loop is in a function that brings $spell in as a global variable. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=22492&edit=1
