Canonicalized headers should always use CRLF, regardless of mailer setting.

Performance profile

How much work a call to PHPMailer::DKIM_HeaderC() does, and what it touches: the algorithmic scaling, the Zend instruction count per call across PHP versions, the hooks it hands control to, and the core code that calls it. Measured from the compiled opcodes, not a stopwatch, so every number is identical on any machine running the same PHP version, and every function in core is ranked by cost.

Cost class
Trivial

Touches nothing outside its own arguments.

Scaling
Scales with input

The body loops, so the work grows with what you pass in.

Instructions
21–22

Executed per call on PHP 8.5, depending on the branch taken. The body compiles to 49.

Plugin surface
None

Nothing here hands control to plugin code.

Called by
0

Nothing in core calls this; the cost is only what you spend yourself.

What one call costs · 1 distinct outcome

One number would be a lie: the work depends on which branch runs. These are every distinct cost PHPMailer::DKIM_HeaderC() can have, taken from its control-flow graph on PHP 8.5.

An instruction is not a fixed amount of time, so a matching count is not necessarily the same speed; what it rules out is a difference in the work itself.

Source code

    public function DKIM_HeaderC($signHeader)    {        //Normalize breaks to CRLF (regardless of the mailer)        $signHeader = static::normalizeBreaks($signHeader, self::CRLF);        //Unfold header lines        //Note PCRE \s is too broad a definition of whitespace; RFC5322 defines it as `[ \t]`        //@see https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5322#section-2.2        //That means this may break if you do something daft like put vertical tabs in your headers.        $signHeader = preg_replace('/\r\n[ \t]+/', ' ', $signHeader);        //Break headers out into an array        $lines = explode(self::CRLF, $signHeader);        foreach ($lines as $key => $line) {            //If the header is missing a :, skip it as it's invalid            //This is likely to happen because the explode() above will also split            //on the trailing LE, leaving an empty line            if (strpos($line, ':') === false) {                continue;            }            list($heading, $value) = explode(':', $line, 2);            //Lower-case header name            $heading = strtolower($heading);            //Collapse white space within the value, also convert WSP to space            $value = preg_replace('/[ \t]+/', ' ', $value);            //RFC6376 is slightly unclear here - it says to delete space at the *end* of each value            //But then says to delete space before and after the colon.            //Net result is the same as trimming both ends of the value.            //By elimination, the same applies to the field name            $lines[$key] = trim($heading, " \t") . ':' . trim($value, " \t");        }         return implode(self::CRLF, $lines);    }
