Comparing PHP Collections

1. php-generics

   1 7 217 3.9 PHP

   PHP generics written in PHP

   

   If you are only using simple collections you can use array - it is very fast and requires little memory. PHP doesn't support generic syntax and IDE can't make hints about the type of objects in a collection (yet), but if you want PHP to do type checks at runtime you can test the php-generics library.

3. php-var-sizeof

   2 3 60 2.0 PHP

   Function for getting size of any PHP variable in bytes

   

   Memory test is very simple. It creates $collection and puts Item objects into it count times. For measurement I use var_sizeof() and memory_get_usage().

4. PHPBench

   3 4 1,957 5.3 PHP

   PHP Benchmarking framework

   

   I used phpbench to measure performance. I think one of the big differences between all the solutions is the type checking. So I decided to try measure it. How much faster will code with/without type checking?
