note 112989 added to function.count

I've read this somewhere else before, but experienced it first hand now, so I thought I'd post it here. While in regular use, count() is pretty fast, this changes rapidly when used in a for loop. Example: for ($x = 0; $x < count($array); $x++) { // some code here } If your array contains a lot of data, this code gets slowed down significantly. Better way to write this: $arrayCount = count($array); for ($x = 0; $x < $arrayCount; $x++) { // some code here } I didn't think it would make such a difference, but it did in my case - changed 15 seconds load time into 1 second! ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.199 Probable Submitter: 75.146.182.131 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.count.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/112989 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112989/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112989/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112989/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112989/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112989/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112989/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112989 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/112989 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
