PHPExcel issue when loading file (that makes no sense)

Question

So the following code:

$csv_reader = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createReader("CSV");
$temp = rand();
echo $temp;
echo "<br/>";
$php_excel = $csv_reader->load("foo.csv");
echo $temp;

Outputs this (as expected):

207192412
207192412

Whereas the following code:

$csv_reader = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createReader("CSV");
$temp = microtime(true);
echo $temp;
echo "<br/>";
$php_excel = $csv_reader->load("foo.csv");
echo $temp;

Outputs this:

1431775661.6455
1431775661.645471

Why does $temp change? I tried using other random variables names, like $nggyu, and I still get the same issue.

What gives?

I tried your code on my system

<?php 
include 'PHPExcel.php';
$csv_reader = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createReader("CSV");
$temp = microtime(true);
echo $temp;
echo "<br/>";
$php_excel = $csv_reader->load("foo.csv");
echo $temp;

?>

Output :

1431798431.3535
1431798431.3535
