Again, it’s just about a Website, but hey: Writing articles is for free. This time it’s phpbench.com. Chris Vincent compares a lot of frequent PHP code snippets in terms of speed. Often, only milliseconds do the difference, but every little helps ;) I will try to stick to some rules to get even the very (…)
