Hi Everybody, I have a couple of foreach loops which are ending in a for loop, which causes the apache to consume the complete memory of the server system the php engine is running on. The nesting level is at round about three and looking like that: $num_new = 4; if (is_array($array)) { foreach ($array as $key => value) { if ($value['element'] == 'test1') { foreach ($value['data'] as $skey => $svalue) { echo $svalue; } } elseif ($value['element'] == 'test2') { foreach ($value['data'] as $skey => $svalue) { echo $svalue; } } if ($num_new > 0) { // this part causes the memory leak for ($i = 0; $i < $num_new; $i++) { echo "sgasdgga"; } } } } I dont know if the above code is causing the memory leak the source is a little more complex, if nessessary I will provide some more code,
If you don't know how are we supposed to know? :) Add memory_get_usage() calls all over the place and see what's going on. eg: error_log(__LINE__ . "\t" . memory_get_usage() . "\n", 3, '/path/to/log.file'); at various spots and go from there. -- Postgresql & php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/
