Re: Re: memory allocation and de-allocation

mmm yes, just been off playing with an as/400 (shudder), mind blank.. I don't quite understand why php-dev, if php itself is deallocating the stuff when I disable the fast cache and when I unset a gui widget it doesn't surely then it relates to php-gtk's code not calling the free? sorry if that sounds newbieish, i need way more coffee today brett > heh, I meant php-dev@ ... not php-gtk-dev ;-) > > On Wed, Mar 13, 2002 at 02:34:41PM +0200, Brett Geer wrote : > > 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.
