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 The engine is expected to cache small memory chunks. All real memory leaks are reported on shutdown. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-01-10 13:29:33] zibi at nora dot pl Description: ------------ It looks like fgetcsv didn't free memory used for input buffer. Reproduce code: --------------- $f=fopen('file.csv','r'); $prev=memory_get_usage(); while($line=fgetcsv($f)) { unset($line); $now=memory_get_usage(); echo ($now-$prev); $prev=$now; } Expected result: ---------------- 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 or something oscilated around 0 Actual result: -------------- 2096 2088 2088 2088 2064 2072 2072 2072 2048 2092 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=40089&edit=1
