I set up PHP4.3.0(DLL) & Apache2.0.43. Each time client browsers access to foo.php file, PHP&Apache leak certain amout of memory.

I put a file named foo.php which contains just 'aaaa' in htdocs directory, and I access that file from mozilla1.2. When i repeatedly reload foo.php, amout memory that Apache2 uses grows(seems about 100 bytes/req). I confirmed the growth with Window's task manager.

Apache's http.conf is 'as is' distributed and PHP4.3's ini is same as ini-recommended.

Does it also leak when you disable PHP (ie. when you dont load the module)?

php enabled:foo.php -> leaks
php enabled:foo.html -> does not leak
php disabled:foo.html -> does not leak

the contents of foo.php & foo.html is same, just 'aaaa'.

hope this helps.

Is there any test I can do to help fixing this problem?
I'm completely new to debugging open source softwares, but I'm willing to do if I could have directions from Wizards.

This is/was a bug in Apache.  Try version 2.0.44. Also, search bugzilla on www.apache.org to make sure that you minimize any know PHP issues.

Does this happen with Apache 2.0.44 ?

I checked with Apache2.0.44+PHP4.3.0 on WinXP home and it still happens.

Here is the Python2.1 script I used for the test.

******************************************
import httplib, time
h=httplib.HTTP('127.0.0.1')

res={}
i=1
for i in range(6000):

    h.putrequest('GET', '/test.php')
    h.endheaders()
    code, msg, headers = h.getreply()
    f = h.getfile()
    data=f.read()
    f.close()

    print i, code
******************************************

test.php contains only 'aaaaa'.
I'll check bugzilla on apache's website anyway.

Please try using this CVS snapshot:

  http://snaps.php.net/php4-STABLE-latest.tar.gz
 
For Windows:
 
  http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-STABLE-latest.zip

Sorry to say that it still happens. tested under winXP.
Amount of memory that leaks seems same as before.

Hmm...are you sure it's not just apache2 that leaks..?
Try without PHP installed..?

(and please don't use the 'Add Comment' when you reply to your own report!)

Simply doing

-    h.putrequest('GET', '/test.php')
+    h.putrequest('GET', '/index.html.en')

stops leaking.
(Hope this is the right way to reply my own report...)

Hi Tamagawa.
we've done a big change in the apache2 <--> php interface in the current CVS head, which may have helped with your issue.

please note that apache will grow in memory usage for a while it is still warming up, until it peaks out (due to the way it uses pooled memory) is it possible you are seeing this?
the way to test this is if you keep seeing a increasing memory utilization after say a 30-40 minutes of hitting your server with a constant load. 

regards
