Re: [PHP4BETA] _very_ specific memory leak in Zend

Hi, The "use" construct won't be supported in PHP 4. It was introduced for PEAR and still hasn't been finalized. You should really be using require_once() (or include_once()) with the file extension. In any case, note that require_once() and include_once() work differently (one at compile-time the other at run-time) so make sure that you are consistent with their uses. If you use require_once() in one place all places need to use require_once(). Andi At 10:50 PM 4/14/00 -0500, chagenbu@wso.williams.edu wrote:

With the latest php4 cvs, I am getting the following in my apache error log: [Fri Apr 14 22:44:32 2000] Script: '/var/www/horde/imp/test.php' --------------------------------------- ./zend-scanner.l(213) : Block 0x081D21E8 status:

--------------------------------------- ./zend-scanner.l(544) : Freeing 0x081D220C (16 bytes), script=/var/www/horde/imp/test.php Here is the simplest test script I have found that reproduces the problem: <?php use './fishfooder'; ?>done Here's where it gets tricky: it seems to depend on the number of characters in the filename. Some longer ones don't generate the error, some do; no shorter ones that I tried generated it, but I didn't do an exhaustive search. Slashes ('/') indicating directories _do_ count in the number of characters. require() does not generate the error. Also, the file must exist, but it does not have to be anything in it - fishfooder.php is a completely empty file for the purposes of the above script. Hopefully this is enough detail to track down the problem. -chuck -- PHP 4.0 Beta Mailing List <http://www.php.net/version4/> To unsubscribe, e-mail: php4beta-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php4beta-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php4beta-admin@lists.php.net
