Re: how to find a memory corruption in php ?

hi, In php 5.3+ the memory limit default is 256MB, not 128MB. 5.3 does not necessary use more memory but actually uses and reports its usage more efficiently. I would suggest to use this default value and try again. About detecting leaks and memory corruptions, valgrind is a good tool to begin with.
