PHP Objects vs Arrays -- Performance comparison while iterating
PhpArraysOptimizationObjectPhp Problem Overview
I have a huge amount of PHP objects for a neural network for which I have to iterate over and perform some maths on. I was wondering if I would be better off using an associative array over instances of classes?
I am dealing with around 3640 objects and iterating around 500 times (at best) on top of that so any micro-optimization helps a great deal. Would it inevitably be quicker to do $object['value'] than $object->value?
Edit: So they are both the same. But I guess there would be a little overhead for the constructor? Either way I don't think I want to trade in my beautiful classes for dirty arrays :P

Solution 1 - Php
Based in the code of Quazzle, i ran the next code (5.4.16 windows 64bits):
<?php
class SomeClass {
public $aaa;
public $bbb;
public $ccc;
}
function p($i) {
echo '<pre>';
print_r($i);
echo '</pre>';
}
$t0 = microtime(true);
$arraysOf=array();
$inicio=memory_get_usage();
for ($i=0; $i<1000; $i++) {
$z = array();
for ($j=0; $j<1000; $j++) {
$z['aaa'] = 'aaa';
$z['bbb'] = 'bbb';
$z['ccc'] = $z['aaa'].$z['bbb'];
}
$arraysOf[]=$z;
}
$fin=memory_get_usage();
echo '<p>arrays: '.(microtime(true) - $t0)."</p>";
echo '<p>memory: '.($fin-$inicio)."</p>";
p($z);
$t0 = microtime(true);
$arraysOf=array();
$inicio=memory_get_usage();
for ($i=0; $i<1000; $i++) {
$z = new SomeClass();
for ($j=0; $j<1000; $j++) {
$z->aaa = 'aaa';
$z->bbb = 'bbb';
$z->ccc = $z->aaa.$z->bbb;
}
$arraysOf[]=$z;
}
$fin=memory_get_usage();
echo '<p>arrays: '.(microtime(true) - $t0)."</p>";
echo '<p>memory: '.($fin-$inicio)."</p>";
p($z);
$t0 = microtime(true);
$arraysOf=array();
$inicio=memory_get_usage();
for ($i=0; $i<1000; $i++) {
$z = new stdClass();
for ($j=0; $j<1000; $j++) {
$z->aaa = 'aaa';
$z->bbb = 'bbb';
$z->ccc = $z->aaa.$z->bbb;
}
$arraysOf[]=$z;
}
$fin=memory_get_usage();
echo '<p>arrays: '.(microtime(true) - $t0)."</p>";
echo '<p>memory: '.($fin-$inicio)."</p>";
p($z);
?>
And i obtained the next result:
arrays: 1.8451430797577
memory: 460416
Array
(
[aaa] => aaa
[bbb] => bbb
[ccc] => aaabbb
)
arrays: 1.8294548988342
memory: 275696
SomeClass Object
(
[aaa] => aaa
[bbb] => bbb
[ccc] => aaabbb
)
arrays: 2.2577090263367
memory: 483648
stdClass Object
(
[aaa] => aaa
[bbb] => bbb
[ccc] => aaabbb
)
Conclusion for php 5.4
- Class is fasts than Arrays (but marginally).
- stdClass is evil.
- Class uses less memory than Arrays. (about 30-40% less!!)
ps: as a note, if the class is defined but the members then, the use of this class is slower. It also uses more memory. Apparently the secret is to define the members
Update
I updated from php 5.4 to php 5.5 (5.5.12 x86 windows).
arrays: 1.6465699672699
memory: 460400
Array
(
[aaa] => aaa
[bbb] => bbb
[ccc] => aaabbb
)
arrays: 1.8687851428986
memory: 363704
SplFixedArray Object
(
[0] => aaa
[1] => bbb
[2] => aaabbb
)
arrays: 1.8554251194
memory: 275568
SomeClass Object
(
[aaa] => aaa
[bbb] => bbb
[ccc] => aaabbb
)
arrays: 2.0101680755615
memory: 483656
stdClass Object
(
[aaa] => aaa
[bbb] => bbb
[ccc] => aaabbb
)
Conclusion for php 5.5
- For arrays, PHP 5.5 is faster than PHP 5.4, for object it is pretty much the same
- Class is slower than Arrays thanks to the optimization of PHP 5.5 and arrays.
- stdClass is evil.
- Class still uses less memory than Arrays. (about 30-40% less!!).
- SplFixedArray is similar to use a Class but it uses more memory.
Solution 2 - Php
I used this code for "profiling" (1000 instances, 1000.000 reads/writes):
function p($i) {
echo '<pre>';
print_r($i);
echo '</pre>';
}
$t0 = microtime(true);
for ($i=0; $i<1000; $i++) {
$z = array();
for ($j=0; $j<1000; $j++) {
$z['aaa'] = 'aaa';
$z['bbb'] = 'bbb';
$z['ccc'] = $z['aaa'].$z['bbb'];
}
}
echo '<p>arrays: '.(microtime(true) - $t0);
p($z);
$t0 = microtime(true);
for ($i=0; $i<1000; $i++) {
$z = (object) null;
for ($j=0; $j<1000; $j++) {
$z->aaa = 'aaa';
$z->bbb = 'bbb';
$z->ccc = $z->aaa.$z->bbb;
}
}
echo '<p>obj: '.(microtime(true) - $t0);
p($z);
echo '<p> phpversion '.phpversion();
It outputs in my LINUX hosting this stuff:
arrays: 1.1085488796234
Array
(
[aaa] => aaa
[bbb] => bbb
[ccc] => aaabbb
)
obj: 1.2824709415436
stdClass Object
(
[aaa] => aaa
[bbb] => bbb
[ccc] => aaabbb
)
phpversion 5.2.17
so in a conclusion: objects are slower even on PHP 5.2. Don't use objects unless you really need their oop features.

Well I got curious today based off of @magallanes benchmark, so I expanded it a bit. I upped some of the for loops to really highlight the gaps between things. This is running on Apache 2.4, mod_php, and PHP 7.2.

Below is the modified script. I wanted to test setting properties with methods and defining types. I was very surprised to find that using setter methods adds a significant hit to the code. Now granted this is a very very specific performance test where many apps will not even hit this. But if you have a site that handles 1000/reqs/second with 1000 classes that are used with 1000s of objects, you can see how this may affect performance.

Conclusion
Array take 4(!) the memory than class object.
Class object marginally faster.
stdClass still evil © magallanes :)
Solution 7 - Php
You haven't shown us the code for how $object->value works, as it could be that backend it is an array in which case theoretically using an array would be faster as it involves one less function call. The cost of doing the lookup will probably be huge compared to the function call. If it is a variable, there is going to be very little diffrence as objects and arrays in PHP have a very similar implementation.
If you are looking at optimizations, you will need to profile to check where the majority of the time is being used. I suspect that changing objects to arrays will make no major difference.
Solution 8 - Php
I see this is kind of an old post so I thought I'll update it. here are my codes and stats, done on Zend CE 5.3.21 I tried to test the whole thing, storing info and pulling it back.
V1 : takes 0.83 sec
for ($i=1; $i<1000000; $i++) {
$a = get_one();
$b = $a[0];
$b = $a[1];
}
function get_one() {
return array(1,1);
}
V2 : takes 3.05 sec
for ($i=1; $i<1000000; $i++) {
$a = get_one();
$b = $a->v;
$b = $a->k;
}
function get_one() {
$ret = new test();
$ret->v = 1;
$reb->k = 1;
return $ret;
}
class test {
public $v;
public $k;
}
V3 : takes 1.98 sec (note that the constructor improves the performance)
for ($i=1; $i<1000000; $i++) {
$a = get_one();
$b = $a->v;
$b = $a->k;
}
function get_one() {
return new test(1,1);
}
class test {
public $v;
public $k;
public function __construct($v, $k) {
$this->v = $v;
$this->k = $k;
}
}
Solution 9 - Php
You can always check the PHP-source code for micro-performance-features like that.
But at a first glance, no doing ['value'] will not be faster because PHP needs to do a Lookup on where to find ['value'] even thougn a hashtable lookup should be O(1), that's not guaranteed. There's more overhead when you use Text-index.
If the object only contains 1 variables that you need to access which is value, there's more overhead in using an object.
Solution 10 - Php
If Arrays and Classs are the same performance, I think use objects of predefined classes for storing/passing business data would make our program more logic and the code more readability.
Today, with modern ide like Eclipse, Netbean ... it's very convenient to know what info an objects (of predefined class) is carrying but arrays are not so
Eg: With array
function registerCourse(array $student) {
// Right here I don't know how a $student look like unless doing a print_r() or var_dump()
....
}
With object
class Studen {
private $_name, $_age;
public function getAge() {}
public function getName() {}
..
}
function registerCourse(Studen $student) {
// Right here I just Ctrl+Space $student or click "Student" and I know I can get name or age from it
...
}
Solution 11 - Php
To be fair it depends on what sort of data You have. The results in other answers are (more or less)* correct. I'll paste in the test code on the bottom for clarity.
The important thing here is that You can save a fair amount of memory if you use a predefined object, the trade-off is the fact that you need to define the exact structure.
Consider the following test results:
static obj: 0.04223108291626
memory: 164920
object(staticSet)#1 (3) {
["aaa"]=>
string(3) "aaa"
["bbb"]=>
string(3) "bbb"
["ccc"]=>
string(6) "aaabbb"
}
---------------------------------------
static obj with an additional prop: 0.042968988418579
memory: 524920
object(staticSet2)#1000 (3) {
["aaa"]=>
string(3) "aaa"
["bbb"]=>
string(3) "bbb"
["ddd"]=>
string(6) "aaabbb"
}
---------------------------------------
I might be wrong here, I'm did not look into the PHP source but I believe that as far as PHP is concerned, everything is an array. A predefined object is just a well defined array. An interesting note is that the value type does not have an effect ie. a string value of '1' will take up the same amount of memory as a bool value of true.
Why? Well as I stated before PHP is arrays so if you have an object with a setter function what (a simplified version) PHP does is this:
$objects = ['objectName' => [
'aaa' => '',
'bbb' => '',
'ccc' => '',
'setValue:f' => function('name', 'value') { ... }
]
];
Every time you execute, you do a lookup for the function key that does a lookup for a prop name, plus any validation for prop type etc. in the background. The memory savings in a predefined object come from defining an array of a set length (otherwise impossible in PHP) instead of allocating a chunk of memory.
Conclusion:
Static objects: Yey! We save memory! But if you try to add anything outside the definition it will grow larger then a stdClass.
['aaa'] into [['aaa'],['bbb']]
Arrays: If You write in PHP You better love them, even a string is an array of characters in PHP.
Objects: Objects have cool functionality, they're a wonderful way to keep your code organised, clean, modular. But as we all know "with great power...".
Finally, my test code and the '*'. people seem to forget that if You don't clean up your variables while the script is running they will remain in the memory, while it will not impact the execution time (much), it will impact the memory measurement. So while running a memory profiling unset() is your friend.
