A warning about uniqid! I was at one point using uniqid in the DOMIT! xml parser to generate unique ids for each node that was added to a DOM document. But after running benchmarks on some different machines, I discovered that on machines with Celeron processors, uniquid was horrendously slow. Here's one example: Parse time for a 4k xml file: Non-Celeron processor - ~0.2 seconds Celeron processor - ~3.5 seconds ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.uniqid.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+40906 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+40906&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+40906&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
