It does not matter if the given class exists or not. Reproduce code: --------------- for ($i = 1; $i < 100; $i++) { if (class_exists('foo')) { } echo memory_get_usage() . "\n"; } Expected result: ---------------- A constant amount of memory (at least after the first iteratation) Actual result: -------------- A growing amount of used memory. A workaround can be: if ((boolean)class_exists('foo')) { } or $foo = class_exists('foo'); if ($foo) {} in these cases the memory leak does not occur ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=44636&edit=1
