Note Submitter: zyphos at zyphos dot be ---- I think there are faster methods for doing an on/off. $value = (1 - $value); or better: $value = (1 ^ $value); // which uses the xor function. Below are the benchs on my computer, for loop of 10,000,000 with PHP Version 5.2.1 $value = abs($value -1); // 4.12641406059 sec $value = (1 - $value); // 1.58847904205 sec $value = (1 ^ $value); // 1.49518704414 sec Note that using function call for such operation is very slow. function on_off($value) { return (1 ^ $value); } // 7.10739612579 sec
