PHP Bugreport

Hi! I want to tell you about some bugs in PHP (I am using 4.2.0 under Linux .... and Windows version also). The first bug (or a feature?) is connected with memory handling. The script I am currently developing (mp3 streaming server, attached to the letter) uses plenty of memory and (that is the feature!) it is not freed when I unset() the variables. It is still a puzzle for me what exactly uses so much memory :) However, the memory is freed when I exit; the script, but not with apache2 :\ The memory is not freed at all (even if the script exits) under Linux version of apache2. My guess is that the problems are connected with sockets_select(). Anoter bug is not exactly a bug in PHP. It is a bug in PHP Manual. The article about unset() says: "If a globalized variable is unset() inside of a function, only the local variable is destroyed. The variable in the calling environment will retain the same value as before unset() was called." It is != true! The function inside my script destroys the globalized variable, you can easily find it in my script's source (lines 244-246). I hope to hear your opinion on my problems soon. Ps. Thank you for developing the best hypertext preprocessor ;) Ivun
