note 66427 added to function.number-format

number_format is pretty fast. It's much slower than calculation though: <?php $start = microtime(true); echo "<pre>"; for ($i=0;$i<100000;$i++) { echo number_format(microtime(true)-$start,25)."\n"; } echo "<hr />Parsetime: ".(microtime(true)-$start); ?> This takes 1.03 seconds all the time. Without the -$start in the number_format cmd, it takes exactly as long (I ran it about 20 times). The simple calculation inside number_format takes relatively no time. Defining the number before entering it into number_format also gives no change: { $num = microtime(true)-$start; echo number_format($num,25)."\n"; } Which concludes it takes about .01 sec to do a thousand number_format. If you'd do the same routine without the number_format, it'd take .75 seconds -> number_format very fast! ---- Server IP: 194.109.193.119 Probable Submitter: 217.195.249.69 ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.3 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER, HTML_MESSAGE autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.number-format.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/note/edit/66427 Del: integrated -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66427/integrated Del: useless -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66427/useless Del: bad code -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66427/bad+code Del: spam -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66427/spam Del: non-english -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66427/non-english Del: in docs -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66427/in+docs Del: other reasons-- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66427 Reject -- http://master.php.net/note/reject/66427 Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
