note 54847 added to language.variables.scope

To the bemused poster: Of course you can't compare processing times between functions/no functions. I only wanted to see the difference between referenced and copied variables in different scenarios. Tests are only meant to compare between pairs (i.e., call a function with & and call the same function without &). I did 4 individual pairs of tests, so test 1 compares to test 2, test 3 compares to test 4, test 5 compares to test 6 and test 7 compares to test 8. The strlen() call was there only to make sure the value is actually accessed. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.scope.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+54847 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54847&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54847&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54847&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54847&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54847&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54847&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+54847&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
