Need any help to implement it? >Surpringly enough, we've already implemented this in the zend version of I am not surprised! :-) Among many other recomendation, in books like "Writing Solid Code" there is a strong recomendation to have code to check memory allocations so that code can help tracking eventual bugs way before the product is shipped. The sooner the better. >the memory manager. There's nothing specific to zend in it so I guess it >can be ported back to PHP3, but I'm not sure we want to do that. Oh, by all means please do it ASAP. I'm sure that will contribute to make PHP even more solid software. I suspect that many of the causes spurious bugs may be found with memory checking code.
