note 97668 added to function.fgets

Regarding "For large files, consider using stream_get_line rather than fgets - it can make a significant difference.", I've run a couple of tests with the command lines given as examples and, yes, in that specific case fgets is slower. But, when I've removed the line length (the second argument) from fgets call, the code got even faster than stream_get_line. Here are my results: $ time yes "This is a test line" | head -1000000 | php -r '$fp=fopen("php://stdin","r"); while($line=stream_get_line($fp,65535,"\n")) { 1; } fclose($fp);' real 0m0.654s user 0m0.637s sys 0m0.062s $ time yes "This is a test line" | head -1000000 | php -r '$fp=fopen("php://stdin","r"); while($line=fgets($fp,65535)) { 1; } fclose($fp);' real 0m6.134s user 0m6.108s sys 0m0.051s $ time yes "This is a test line" | head -1000000 | php -r '$fp=fopen("php://stdin","r"); while($line=fgets($fp)) { 1; } fclose($fp);' real 0m0.408s user 0m0.411s sys 0m0.048s Nice! :) ---- Server IP: 89.28.118.75 Probable Submitter: 89.28.117.120 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fgets.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/97668 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97668/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97668/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97668/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97668/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97668/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97668/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97668 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/97668 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
