Using array[] when assigning values to arrays in PHP is more efficient than array_push(), so for various reasons the following test is done
Test code:
1
2 /**
3 *Array performance test
4 *The for loop has performance impact so it is useless
5 *The test is to change the $count parameter (increment from 10 to 100000) and call the method to refresh manually. The recording time is the average approximate time
6 **/
7
8 $count = 10;
9
10 arrayTest01($count);
11
12 function arrayTest01($count){
13 $arr = array();
14 $time = microtime(true);
15 for($i = 0; $i < $count; $i++){
16 $array[] = $i;
17 }
18 echo (microtime(true) - $time);
19 }
20
21 function arrayTest02($count){
22 $arr = array();
23 $time = microtime(true);
24 for($i = 0; $i < $count; $i++){
25 array_push($arr, $i);
26 }
27 echo (microtime(true) - $time);
28 }
29
30 ?>
The efficiency is about twice as fast as array[]. The test environment is ubuntu 11 and windows 7

This is what the official website says
Note: If you use array_push() to add an element to an array, it is better to use $array[] = because there is no additional burden of calling the function.
