PHP Benchmark tests – along the lines of Jeff Greenberg’s Javascript Optimization tests. Note, that some of these tests aren’t quite as thorough as they might be. For example, I ran some tests a while back on single quote vs double quote speed and came to very different conclusions (there was a significant penalty for using double quotes and I changed my coding style accordingly. Perhaps this has changed since then). My results are appended as a comment/correction at the bottom of the page to Nathan Wallace’s PHP: Hacker’s Paradise article.
