We tested that theory a while back on here (I don't remember the subject
of the emails, so finding it would be kind of hard), and it came out to
be almost exactally the same speed.
Around 1/10th of a second difference in 100,000 replaces....
<?php
function getmicrotime() {
list( $usec, $sec ) = explode( " ", microtime() );
return ( ( float ) $usec + ( float ) $sec );
}
$string = "Foo is a common term used in programming.";
$start = getmicrotime();
for ( $i = 0; $i < 100000; $i++ ) {
preg_replace ( "/Foo/", "Bar", $string );
}
$stop = getmicrotime();
$preg = $stop - $start;
$start = getmicrotime();
for ( $i = 0; $i < 100000; $i++ ) {
str_replace ( "Foo", "Bar", $string );
}
$stop = getmicrotime();
$strreplace = $stop - $start;
echo ( "PREG : " . $preg . "<br />\nSTR_ : " . $strreplace );
?>
