I have reproduced the problem also on an ther server (this server uses
redhat 7.2)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[2002-12-05 17:01:54] busia@tiscali.it
If I add the line
unset($array);
before
$array=array(); (line: 8)
the result remains the same.

If I run this script:
<?
ini_set('memory_limit','100M');
echo "a";
$array=array();
for($i=0; $i<=500000; $i++) $array[]="pippoplu";
echo "b\n";
sleep(15);
$array=array();
echo "c\n";
sleep(15);
for($i=0; $i<=300000; $i++) $array[]="pippoplu";
echo "d\n";
sleep(15);
?>
and I watch the memory usage i see:
after the 'echo "a"': memory usage increases and it reaches 64MB (all
is ok)
after the 'echo "b"': memory usage is 64MB (all is ok)
after the 'echo "c"': memory usage is 62MB (not ok)
after the 'echo "d"': memory usage remains 62MB (not ok)
Why '$array=array();' don't free the memory used by $array?
and why the memory don't increases when between ' echo "c"' and 'echo
"d"'?
