Simple PHP Benchmark Script

Alice 888 · #1 (**permalink**) 02-03-2007, 08:41 AM

Since I do a lot of PHP web development, I've always wanted a nice easy script to test how well a server can perform various PHP functions--a benchmark. After looking for months without finding a nice-looking easy benchmark, I made my own. With a clean, nice UI and several subtests, this benchmark runs through 10 iterations to see how well your server runs PHP scripts.

PHP Benchmark v1.1
http://benchmarks.nickbarrett.org

Download the script, see submitted results, and find more info. The tests require PHP 4.2.x or newer, and the image/memory manipulation tests use the GD2 image library. Just unzip the file and run the benchmark.php script on your web server.

The benchmark can be downloaded at the site above, or from the included attachment. Please share your results for everyone's benefit! Suggestions, comments, and other feedback welcomed!

Thanks!

But it seems my professor insists on using a huge print command instead of breaking up the php:
CODE
<?php

$date = date("F d, Y H:i:s a");

print <<<EOT

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head><title>Comm393: </title>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />
</head>
<body>

<h1>Hello World</h1>
<center>$date</center>
</body></html>

EOT;
?>

Which methods do you php coders out there use? Are there any specific advantages or disadvantages when comparing the two?

Thanks. ;D
