note 104098 added to function.ctype-digit

To my surprise after one million iterations: It took 0.5646638 seconds to false if(('abc'*1 . '')==='abc') It took 0.5725240 seconds to true if(('123'*1 . '')==='123') It took 0.3741021 seconds to false if((('abc'*1) . '')==='abc') It took 0.4357590 seconds to true if((('123'*1) . '')==='123') It took 0.3529291 seconds to false ctype_digit('abc') It took 0.3391420 seconds to true ctype_digit('123') The function ctype_digit() is faster then an inline if(). But this test also shows the value of ((first*1) . second). ---- Server IP: 213.249.64.162 Probable Submitter: 109.35.155.242 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ctype-digit.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/104098 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104098/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104098/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104098/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104098/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104098/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104098/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104098 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/104098 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
