this is what i did:


<?
        for ($x = 0; $x < 500000; $x++) {
                $test[$x] = "";
        }


        echo "DONE<BR>\n"; flush();
        sleep(60);
?>
after running this i found apache useing 65MB of memmory
25520 nobody     0   0 67212  65M  2180 S       0  0.0 26.0   0:04 httpsd


and it doesn't matter if you do this:


$test[$x] = "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AA";


it keeps 65MB


I find this strange...

Keep up the good work

Greetz,

Wico

All arrays in PHP are associative arrays which means that the memory overhead is fairly bigger than a regular array in say, C. In any case, did you compile with --disable-debug? It should make some difference.
