Sorry bro,
was thinking that in the initialization section that it would run the
count again, but that is not the case...
$max is initialized first and never looked at again during the for
loop...

If you reed the code carefully, it first assigns $x=1 and
$max=count($myArray),
then it compares $x with $max

Then only problem with doing it like
for($x = 1, $max = count($myArray); $x <= $max; $x++ )
is that the $max = count( $myArray ) is always verified in each
loop...slowing the for loop down...
faster to do
$max = count( $myArray );
for( $x = 1, $x <= $max; $x++ )
just my $0.02...for the day...
the most correct way is probably:
$size = sizeof($myArray);
for( $x = 1; $x <= $size; $x++ ) {}
But, this is too personal and is "my way".

The first one is better, and, besides that - it is the most correct way
- there might be something making the array change while inside the loop
- thus you have to do some extremely high calculations to understand the
array does not change runtime, which makes it useless.
Simply do the "elegan
As max($myArray) may potentionaly change, it is evalueted everytime (you
may do
$myArray[]=$big_number in your loop). So if you know it is not going to
change, use the first way.

Is PHP smart enough to optimize loops?
That is, are these two 'for...loops' equivalent or is one slower than
the other?
$max = max($myArray);
for( $x = 1; $x <= $length; $x++ ) {}
-- OR --
for( $x = 1; $x <= max($myArray); $x++ ) {}
My gut instinct tells me since PHP is interpreted, that the
10 matches
