Dmitry, can you check this out please? The example script kills my machine totally if I don't use the .= :) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-02-07 13:39:05] frode dot guldberg at exense dot com Description: ------------ In a for-loop I concatenate two strings. If I at the same time fill a relatively small array, I get a huge memory consumption. This only happens if I concatenate the two strings using '.'. If I use '.=' the memory usage is as expected. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php $string = str_repeat('This is a teststring.', 50); echo 'Length: '.strlen($string).'<br>'; echo 'Memory Before:'.memory_get_usage(true).'<br>'; for($i = 1; $i <= 2000; $i++) { // $newstring .= $string; //This uses an expected amount of mem. $newstring = $newstring . $string; //This uses very much mem. for($j = 1; $j <= 10; $j++) { $array[] = 'test'; } } echo 'Memory After:'.memory_get_usage(true).'<br>'; echo 'Total Length of String: '.strlen($newstring).'<br>'; ?> Expected result: ---------------- Length: 1050 Before:262144 After:4456448 Length: 2100000 Actual result: -------------- Length: 1050 Before:262144 After:161742848 Length: 2100000 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=44069&edit=1
