About PHP magic function performance-PHP Tutorial-php.cn

Some people do not recommend using "magic methods". Some people question that magic methods are not allowed to be used? In fact, this is not the case. This article will analyze the performance of PHP magic functions with you.

Optimization suggestions are suggestions to prevent people from abusing and using them unscrupulously. If you can realize what is slow and what is fast when writing code, thereby avoiding some unnecessary magic methods Invocation, that is the effect pursued by this optimization suggestion

Doubt

Is the performance of the magic method really poor?
Is there still a problem with the performance of using magic methods in PHP7?
How should we use magic methods reasonably?

Plan

Faced with my doubts, my plan is:

Statistical comparison between using the magic method and not using it The time difference between magic method script execution
Continuously execute the script n times under PHP5.6.26-1
The average/minimum statistical execution time Value/maximum value
Continuously execute the script n times under PHP7.0.12-2
Statistics on the average/minimum value/maximum execution time Value

Currently my personal ability is limited and I can only use this method. If you have a better plan or suggestion, you can tell me, thank you, haha~

__construct

First of all, let’s take a look at the experiment of constructor function __construct. The php script is as follows:

<?php
/**
 * 魔术方法性能探索
 *
 * 构造函数
 *
 * @author TIGERB <https://github.com/TIGERB>
 */

require('./function.php');
if (!isset($argv[1])) {
    die('error: variable is_use_magic is empty');
}
$is_use_magic = $argv[1];

/**
 * 构造函数使用类名
 */
class ClassOne
{
    public function classOne()
    {
        # code...
    }
}

/**
 * 构造函数使用魔术函数__construct
 */
class ClassTwo
{
    public function __construct()
    {
        # code...
    }
}

$a = getmicrotime();
if ($is_use_magic === 'no_magic') {
    new ClassOne();
}else {
    new ClassTwo();
}
$b = getmicrotime();

echo  ($b-$a) . "\n";

PHP7.0 does not use the magic method. The data is as follows, in microseconds μm

// PHP7.0中连续调用脚本10000次
sh test 10000 no_magic php construct

// 运行数据统计脚本
sh analysis ./logs/__construct_no_magic_php.log 10000

Through the above data We can see that:

The average execution time of a script using __construct as the constructor is faster than using the class name as the constructor,

About 5 to 6 microseconds, regardless of Is it in php5.6 or php7.0.

__call

Next, let’s take a look at the __call experiment. The php script is as follows:

<?php
/**
 * 魔术方法性能探索
 *
 * 构造函数
 *
 * @author TIGERB <https://github.com/TIGERB>
 */

require('./function.php');
if (!isset($argv[1])) {
    die('error: variable is_use_magic is empty');
}
$is_use_magic = $argv[1];

/**

class ClassOne
{
    public function __construct()
    {
        # code...

    public function test()
    {
        # code...

}

/**

{
    public function __construct()
    {
        # code...
    }

    public function __call($method, $argus)
    {
        # code...
    }
}

$a = getmicrotime();
if ($is_use_magic === 'no_magic') {
    $instance = new ClassOne();
    $instance->test();
}else {
    $instance = new ClassTwo();
    $instance->test();
}
$b = getmicrotime();

echo  ($b-$a) . "\n";

Through the above data we It can be seen that:

The average execution time of a script using __call is slower than that without using it,

about 2 microseconds, whether in php5.6 or php7.0.

__callStatic

Next, let’s take a look at the __callStatic experiment. The php script is as follows:

<?php
/**

    public static function __callStatic($method, $argus)

    }
}

$a = getmicrotime();
if ($is_use_magic === 'no_magic') {
    ClassOne::test();

$b = getmicrotime();

Through the above data we It can be seen that:

The average execution time of a script using __callStatic in php5.6 is slower than that without using it,

About 3 microseconds slower; When using __callStatic in php7.0_ The average execution time of the _callStatic script is roughly equal to that of not using __callStatic;

We can see from the above data:

The average execution time of a script using __set is slower than not using it,

It is about 2 microns slower Seconds, whether in php5.6 or php7.0.

__get

Next, let’s take a look at the __get experiment. The php script is as follows:

<?php
/**

require('./function.php');
if (!isset($argv[1])) {

        return $this->$name;
    }
}

$a = getmicrotime();
if ($is_use_magic === 'no_magic') {
    $instance = new ClassOne();
    $instance->getSomeVariable();
}else {
    $instance = new ClassTwo();

PHP7.0不使用魔术方法数据如下，单位微秒μm

// PHP7.0中连续调用脚本10000次

// 运行数据统计脚本

通过上面的数据我们可以看出：

在php5.6中使用__get的脚本执行的平均时间是要大致等于不使用__get的;在php7.0中使用__get的脚本执行的平均时间是要慢于不使用， 大概慢3微秒 。

结语

这里主要测试了__construct()， __call()， __callStatic()， __get()， __set()这五个常用的且可有其他实现方式代替的魔法函数。通过上面的测试再回来解答我的疑惑

魔术方法真的性能比较差吗？

答：除了使用__construct之外，这里使用其他的魔法方法的时间大致慢10微妙以内。

PHP7里使用魔术方法的性能还是存在问题吗？

答：在PHP7中使用与不使用魔术方法之间的差异和在PHP5.6中近乎一致。

我们应该如何合理的使用魔术方法？

答：通过整个测试我们可以看出使不使用魔法方法这之间的执行时间差异大致都是在10微妙以内的，所以如果魔法方法可以很好的节省我们的开发成本和优化我们的代码结构，我们应该可以考虑牺牲掉这不到10微妙。而__construct是要快的，所以使用__construct应该没什么异议。

以上内容就是关于PHP 魔法函数性能分析，希望对大家有帮助。
