PHP：in_array（）vs array_intersect（）性能

Question

什么，以及多少，更快 - 使用foreach手动迭代数组并使用needle检查in_array()次出现，或使用array_intersect()？

Answer 1

基准

测试脚本

<?php
$numbers = range(32, 127);
$numbersLetters = array_map('chr', $numbers);

for (;;) {
    $numbersLetters = array_merge($numbersLetters, $numbersLetters);

    if (count($numbersLetters) > 10000) {
        break;
    }
}

$numbers = range(1, count($numbersLetters));

printf("Sample size: %d elements in 2 arrays (%d total) \n", count($numbers), count($numbers) + count($numbersLetters));
printf("Benchmarking speed in foreach + in_array() scenario... (this might take a while) ");

shuffle($numbers);
shuffle($numbersLetters);

$t1 = microtime(true);

foreach ($numbers as $number) {
    if (in_array($number, $numbersLetters)) {}
}

$t2 = microtime(true);

printf("DONE!\n");
printf("Time elapsed: %.5f \n", $t2 - $t1);

// =============================------------===============================

printf("Benchmarking speed with array_intersect...");

shuffle($numbers);
shuffle($numbersLetters);

$t1 = microtime(true);

array_intersect($numbers, $numbersLetters);

$t2 = microtime(true);

printf("DONE!\n");
printf("Time elapsed: %.5f \n", $t2 - $t1);

<强>输出

Sample size: 12288 elements in 2 arrays (24576 total) 
Benchmarking speed in foreach + in_array() scenario... (this might take a while) DONE!
Time elapsed: 3.79213 
Benchmarking speed with array_intersect...DONE!
Time elapsed: 0.05765

结论

array_intersect比foreach + in_array快得多。

为什么array_intersect更快？

• 交叉点用C代码计算，而不是PHP
• 在计算交叉点（sorts the array）
