Re: RETURN_STRING...

The engine expects to receive an allocated string, and assumes responsibility for freeing it. So, you should duplicate the string if: 1. The string is static (e.g., RETURN_STRING("foo",...)) 2. The string is referenced by other parts in PHP. For instance, if you return a string that you got as an argument to your function, you must duplicate it. Zeev At 21:01 22/11/2000, David Muse wrote:

I'm working on a PHP module and have several functions which return the (char *) results of other functions. I assume I should use RETURN_STRING to do this, but under what circumstances should I tell RETURN_STRING to duplicate the string?
