Is anyone looking into this?
I've found any method of releasing the objects fails, no just using the
unset() function, if the object just go out of scope they aren't
released, for ezample, if you do something like
function MyFunc() {
$x = new C;
$y = new C;
$x->ref =& $y;
$y->ref =& $x;
}
Then after the function has finished then the memory allocated for the
local variables $x and $y is not freed up.

I had this problem with PHP4.3.3. I then found this bug report and
upgraded to PHP5.0.0b4 to try and fix this problem and I still get the
memory leak problem, there is some demo code below, you need to change
/path/to/large/file. I've been using a file which is about 1.5mb and
when PHP is set to stop when it reaches 8mb then it only makes it
through the loop twice.
I'm 1.5 years into a project and I could really do with knowing if this
is going to be fixed anytime soon so I can either wait for the fix or
try and find a work around. Thanks for your time,
Tom

<?php
class C {
var $ref;
var $val;
function C() {
$this->val = file('/path/to/large/file');
}
}
while (1) {
$x = new C;
$y = new C;
$x->ref =& $y;
$y->ref =& $x;
unset($y);
unset($x);
echo ".";
}
?>

Test with the php5 snapshot please:

It won't be fixed in PHP 4 anyway as it has to do with the way objects
work there.

I am experiencing this problem with Win2k/IIS 5.0.
Memory usage increases until the server starts to page and crawl to a
slow death.
I have helped this somewhat by writing an app to unload the ISAPI every
half an hour, but it is still causing problems about once a week (on a
very busy site).
Still preferable to using the CGI though....
