$myArray[]=$big_number in your loop). So if you know it is not going to change, use the first way.

Is PHP smart enough to optimize loops?
That is, are these two 'for...loops' equivalent or is one slower than
the other?
$max = max($myArray);
for( $x = 1; $x <= $length; $x++ ) {}
-- OR --
for( $x = 1; $x <= max($myArray); $x++ ) {}
My gut instinct tells me since PHP is interpreted, that the top one is
the better way to go, but with the Zend Optimizer, I don't know if PHP
handles them the same way or not?
