Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php PHP uses an internal memory memory manager, when you allocate memory using emalloc() it'll be freed at the end of the request, even if you don't free it explicitly yourself. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-01-30 12:24:33] [EMAIL PROTECTED] My apology of being nagger but the bellow code, use memory (even without inner free) that become free right after the script execution ending. is there a problem to get back the php varibles memory, just like the efree do? PHP_FUNCTION(momo_test) { char *some_memory; int a; some_memory = (char *) emalloc(0x4000000); for(a=0;a<0x4000000;a++) some_memory[a]=0; //efree(some_memory); } Can you send me more exact reference how the linux memory allocation responsible for this spend memory? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-01-29 16:07:05] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Expected behaviour. Search more information how memory allocation and freeing works in Linux from the web..and also 'man ps' ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-01-29 09:08:18] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Description: ------------ while playing with big arrays, i see that memory that was used on php with apache 1.3 sapi doesn't became free till the next time apache use *the same* process. here how the memory looks like *after* the scripts have finish to run: momo@(none) htdocs # ps -A v|grep http 27677 ?
