note 35261 added to function.strcmp

Not sure where you get the 60% number from. I did a test.. first the vars: $var = array('hello', 'world', 'hello'); Then I executed the following code 10 million times in a loop: // not equal. returns true. if (strcmp($var[0], $var[1])) $true++; // equal, returns false if (!strcmp($var[0], $var[2])) $false++; And kept track of its execution time, then executed the following code 10 million times: // not equal if ($var[0] != $var[1]) $true++; // equal if ($var[0] == $var[2]) $false++; I ran the test a couple dozen times, and every time the difference in execution time was within 5%, usually around 4%. Using != and == was faster, but not by that crazy 60% number. I still advise using != and == isntead of strcmp for if() statements because strcmp's logic is backward for that kind of implementation. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strcmp.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+35261 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+35261&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+35261&report=yes
