Re: memory allocation and de-allocation

Hi All, shifting this from the php-gtk list to the dev list, basically what I've got is allocating variables and then using unset to free them doesn't do anything, memory still remains allocated, setting the fast cache off gets this working however unset'ing gui widgets doesn't do anything. PHP 4.1.1 with the php-gtk at 0.5, I'm loading about 26k rows into a clist and then when I've got what I need out of it I unset it and the memory remains allocated... This applies to the other widgets I use aswell brett > Yes, my cgi module is still intact, thats on a production server, the commandline > version did see a performance hit when I was allocating the array without the fast > cache enabled, though normally I'd not go do something silly like roll 26k records > into an array I might have to do that sooner or later. > > I was trying some work based on your intro doc which is what got me into the idea of > the php-gtk interface.
