SMTP::get_lines(): string

Source
wp-includes/PHPMailer/SMTP.php:1340
Read the SMTP server's response.

Description

Either before eof or socket timeout occurs on the operation.
With SMTP we can tell if we have more lines to read if the 4th character is '-' symbol. If it is a space then we don't need to read anything else.

Return value

string

Performance profile

How much work a call to SMTP::get_lines() 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
Constant

No loop in the body: the same number of instructions runs whatever you pass in.

Instructions
9

Executed per call on PHP 8.5. The body compiles to 163.

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 SMTP::get_lines() 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.
