# PHP benchmark
[](https://github.com/hyperized/benchmark/actions/workflows/ci.yml)
Comprehensive PHP server benchmarking utility. Tests your hosting environment across 15 benchmark modules and reports results in milliseconds.
Auto-detects CLI vs web and renders with the appropriate output mode:
- **CLI** — ANSI colors with Unicode box-drawing tables
- **Web** — styled HTML dashboard with responsive CSS grid layout
Each run saves a JSON report with a timestamp to `reports/`.
## Benchmark Modules
| Category | Module | What it measures |
|----------|--------|-----------------|
| **Environment** | PHP | Version, ini settings, memory limits, loaded extensions |
| **I/O** | Disk I/O | File creation across 8 block sizes (512B–64KB) |
| | File Read | Sequential reads across file sizes (1KB–4MB) |
| | Network | DNS resolution and TCP connection latency |
| **Compute** | CPU | Math functions, string operations, loops, conditionals |
| | Memory | Allocation speed and peak memory per operation |
| | Regex | `preg_match` and `preg_replace` across 10 pattern types |
| | JSON | Encode/decode with small, medium, and large payloads |
| | Serialization | `serialize` vs `json_encode` vs `var_export` (+ igbinary/msgpack if available) |
| | Hashing | md5, sha1, sha256, sha512, xxh3, crc32, hmac-sha256, bcrypt, argon2id |
| | Encryption | AES-128/256-CBC/GCM, ChaCha20-Poly1305 encrypt and decrypt |
| | Compression | gzip, zlib, deflate (+ brotli/lzf if available) with compression ratios |
| **Runtime** | Function Overhead | Named function, closure, first-class callable, static/instance method, arrow function |
| | Type Casting | int/string/float/bool conversions |
| | Object Instantiation | stdClass, DateTime, SplStack, SplPriorityQueue, ArrayObject |
| **Database** | MySQL | Query performance (requires ext-mysqli) |
All modules can be individually enabled/disabled and configured in `config/config.yml`.
## Requirements
- PHP >= 8.4
- ext-mysqli (for MySQL benchmarks, optional)
## Installation
```bash
composer create-project hyperized/benchmark
cp config/config.yml.example config/config.yml
```
Adjust `config/config.yml` to your preferences. Set module toggles, cycle counts, MySQL credentials, and optionally override the output format.
## Usage
### CLI
```bash
php benchmark.php
```
Example output:
```

### Web
```bash
php -S localhost:8000 benchmark.php
```
Open `http://localhost:8000` for a styled HTML dashboard with cards for each module.
### Remote
Install on the server via Composer and visit `/benchmark.php` in the browser.
### Reports
JSON reports are saved to `reports/` with timestamped filenames (e.g. `2026-04-11_143022.json`). Disable via `benchmark.output.report: false` in config.
### Configuration
All modules support `enabled: true/false` and configurable cycle counts:
```yaml
benchmark:
output:
format: ~ # null = auto-detect, 'cli', or 'html'
report: true # save JSON report to reports/
php:
enabled: true
disk:
enabled: true
cycles: 100
memory:
enabled: true
count: 9999
network:
enabled: true
cycles: 3
hosts:
- google.com
- cloudflare.com
- github.com
hashing:
enabled: true
hashCount: 99999
passwordCount: 10
# ... see config/config.yml.example for all options
```
### Security
If deploying to a web server, ensure `config.yml` is not publicly accessible. For Apache with `mod_rewrite`:
```apache
deny from all
```
## Development
```bash
composer analyse # Run PHPStan (level 8)
composer cs-fix # Auto-fix code style (PER-CS2.0)
composer cs-check # Check code style (dry run)
```
