PHP benchmarking: date() VS. date_parse() VS. date_parse_from_format()
<p>Can someone please benchmark and tell me which one is the <strong>fastest</strong> in PHP:</p>

<pre><code>$d = date($output_format, strtotime($date_string));
$d = date_parse($date_string);
$d = date_parse_from_format($input_format, $date_string);
</code></pre>

<p>Thank you!! Geo.</p>
