Comparing PHP Collections

• php-generics

  7 206 4.3 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.

• php-var-sizeof

  3 56 0.0 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().

• InfluxDB

• PHPBench

  3 1,844 8.0 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?
