Thanks for this interesting article.

It seems that this problem no longer exists with PHP 5.3.x – at least the example mentioned above works fine with PHP 5.3.3 and GC turned on. Maybe you should mention this in your post.

Bye

Hello, I have a question.
in this code
1.Does “__destruct” work automatically after perform “new name”?/in wampserver it works automatically!!
2.I saw it’s better to write $foo->__destruct(); so what? )-:
myname =$data;
}
function __destruct{
unset($this->myname);
}
}
$v = new name(“Dan”);
unset($v);
?>

What do you use to monitor PHP memory usage?

I’m using someone else’s class and the implementation requires new object to be created in a loop. Will this cause memory leak? The class doesn’t seem to have function to release or empty the object so moving the object creation outside of the loop will result adding more and more content into the object. Any thoughts?

this is exactly happening with me. i am using PEARs to extract large number of xml files in a loop. memory consumption is always increasing on each cycle :(

Working perfectly in PHP 5.3.2 now. Seems to be fixed. At least Garbage Collection start every now and then and cleans memory a little.
