note 39217 added to function.create-function

Beware of memory-leaks, the garbage-collection seems to 'oversee' dynamically created functions! I used a function like this to replace special characters in links with their htmlentities: <?php $text = preg_replace_callback ( "/(<(frame src|a href|form action)=\")([^\"]+)(\"[^>]*>)/i", create_function ( '$matches', 'return $matches[1] . htmlentities ($matches[3]) . $matches[4];' ), $text); ?> After 1000 calls, the process used about 5MB more than before. In my situation this boosted up the memory-size of one PHP-process up to over 100MB! In such cases, better store the function in a global variable. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.create-function.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+39217 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+39217&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+39217&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
