Hello,
Just wondering if anyone else here has noticed that the standalone PHP (ie
minus the "--with-apache" option) seems to eat more and more memory?
I have a slightly unusual application that parses several web pages and
pulls out image and href URLs; when I start it, the process size is just
over 2Mb. As the script crunches the process size continues to grow,
often past 100Mb.
I'm not sure if it's a memory leak bug, or a fundamental limitation of the
way the interpreter works. For example:
function somefunction {
$t = "hello";
return $t; // does $t get freed here?
}
$variable = somefunction();
In this case is a *copy* of $t returned and $t freed, OR is the
reference/address of $t returned and it's never freed? I might do some
testing to see if I can figure it out....
This is the only reason I can think of this behaviour, there is nothing in
my script that could eat up 100Mb of memory by itself.
As always, any pointers appreciated. :)
Cheers.
