note 26446 added to ref.array

It's not clear how memory is managed with arrays. For example, if you have some existing data in an array and do: $my_array=array(); Does it wipe all previous content? It should. Also, if you do $my_array[0] = ""; It should release the memory for whatever stuff was there before. If arrays are kept as linked lists as somebody here pointed out before, there is a significant overhead on arrays with hundreds of elements. Is there anywhere I can find info on the way this stuff is managed without browsing through the PHP source code? -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.array.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+26446 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+26446 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+26446
