PHP benchmark script

Added: 08/03/2012 by Jeroen

Description

You can benchmark and compare different PHP versions with this script. Or use it to compare different hostingproviders!
Try to beat our server, every week a new benchmark is placed here

Requirements

- This script works on any PHP version

benchmark.php

Save the code below to a file named benchmark.php, and run it in your browser.
Note: The script can take a long tame on slow hosts.
