[PHP-DEV] while cs. for From: David Sklar (sklar <email protected>)

In some benchmarking I'm doing, while() loops are a little faster than
equivalent for loops. Is this just a side-effect of how the parser rules are
written?

e.g, the two loops I'm comparing are:

  $j = 0;
  while ($j < $iter) {
    $a = 1;
    $j++;
  }

and

  for ($j = 0; $j < $iter; $j++) {
    $a = 1;
  }
