why not just do: unset($dbObject);

We were using unset() for the longest time but found it doesn't seem to free up the memory.

interesting - you are suggesting that settype does free the memory directly? I have seen a number of posts to internals regarding to being able to free up memory in long-running/heavy cli scripts... none of the devs mentioned settype() ... maybe you know something nobody else does :-)

$dbObject &= new IPI_OfficeDetailsInterface();

so you want to do a bitwise AND on a non-existant variable and a newly creately object?? maybe you meant to do: $dbObject =& new IPI_OfficeDetailsInterface();

You are right. My original email contained a typo. It should have been '=&' as that is what is in our code.

darn, no easy fix then. why didn't you paste the code verbatim? - typing it over by hand (or approximating) is a waste of (other) peoples time. (i.e. they are trying to help you fix code that doesn't really exist)

thnx, Chris
