Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce
this bug ourselves. 

A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>,
is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external 
resources such as databases, etc. If the script requires a 
database to demonstrate the issue, please make sure it creates 
all necessary tables, stored procedures etc.

Please avoid embedding huge scripts into the report.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.
Here is a sample code that reproduce the error. Please note that sometimes this code not generate the error, and I can't find why. When you reload the page, it mostly generated but a few time not.

<?php
$connection = new PDO('dblib:dbname=xxx;host=yyy;', 'zxzxzx', 'zxzxzx');
$connection->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);

$query = $connection->query("xxx.dbo.zzzzz @ServerName = NULL, @ProcessName = NULL, @LayoutID = NULL");

$RecordsetFields = array();

do {
       $rowset = $query->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
       if ($rowset)
       {
             $RecordsetFields[] = $rowset;
       }
} while ($query->nextRowset());

print_r($RecordsetFields);


The query is working perfectly, excepted the message in error.log.
This is anoyong because we are monitoring errors in real time and this is generating 99% of false positives.

Once again, thanks for your help.

Regards,

[Mon Mar 25 08:53:55 2013] [error] [client x.x.x.x] PHP Fatal error:  Allowed 
memory size of 536870912 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 140429927214120 
bytes) in Unknown on line 0, referer:

This log indicates that you have been exhausted available memory. (512MB)

When you get query result from your db server, records are stored in memory 
which is not managed by PHP.

If you do

do {
       $rowset = $query->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
       if ($rowset)
       {
             $RecordsetFields[] = $rowset;
       }
} while ($query->nextRowset());

Then results are stored in PHP managed memory. I wander why your script works(?) 
even with the memory exhaustion error.

Are you sure that query result fit in your PHP managed memory?
How many records are there? and what the size of each record?

Could you use memory_get_usage() 
http://jp2.php.net/manual/en/function.memory-get-usage.php
in the "do" loop to see memory usage of your script and report the result back?

Hi,

I just added memory_get_usage and memory_get_peak_usage to my script and here is 
the result:

[31-Jul-2013 16:20:56 Europe/Zurich] Script start

on 
line 0

The problem comes after script execution. Perhaps there is a problem with 
freeing object in memory?

Any idea?

We experienced this problem on PHP 5.4.4, but it was fixed by upgrading to 5.4.21.

Good morning,

We have tested with 5.4.21 and that does not the trick, we still have memory allocation messages.

Regards,

same problem here with php 5.4.4-14! false positive, and the query is executed correctly...
please note that "tried to allocate 140429927214120 bytes" is something like 127,5 terabytes... usually bytes exhausted errors try to allocate much smaller memory this is weird...

it's most probably caused by https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=67130

Solved for me with latest Debian updates, probably was a bug in a PHP extension...

Thanks for the report, which version are you using so ?

PHP Version 5.4.4-14+deb7u9

So ad, I'm using 5.4.21.

Thanks anyway.

I have same problem :(

I'm getting the same result in my log files for a wordpress site, but I haven't yet determined what statement is causing it.

Here's my PHP info:

$rowset = $query->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);

This will cache the entire recordset in memory. The pdo dblib driver was updated way back to specifcally allow iteration through a very large recordset (e.g. while($row=$query->fetch()) {}  ) without memory exhaustion, However by calling fetchAll() there is no optimization that can be done.

How many rows with how many bytes each are you fetching from the server? Are there varbinary, text or image fields involved? Those can be quite large.
