the same problem with php5.2-200608280630

Cannot reproduce.

is it OK if I upload my XML files somewhere ?

I don't think you really need 10Mb file to reproduce it.
If it really leaks, then it should do it even with 10 bytes XML file.

Well, I don't have XML files with 10 bytes,
and with 10Mb files my memory is exhausted after processing 20 files.
Memory is OK if I am processing files one per run.

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.

I dont know if this will help anyone but I found that it is the foreach that actually causes the memory leak. If you replace the FOREACH with a FOR loop it seems to be stable.

Hi!

A shorter version that quickly eats up all the memory:

<?php
  $xml = '<root><node></node></root>';
  
  $xmldata = simplexml_load_string( $xml );
  
  while( true )
  {
    foreach ( $xmldata->node as $node )
    {
    }
  }  
?>

(php5.1.5, WinXP, Shell)

Also tried the latest snapshot, same effect.

Hi folks:

Bug report # 34112, which apparently addresses the same 
issue, ends with a note from a PHP developer that this is 
not a "bug."

Bug or not, this is a problem and -- in my opinion -- should 
be resolved if object-oriented PHP is intended to be used, 
among other things, a CLI language.

As one of the commenters points out, the memory depletion 
appears to stem from using an object inside a foreach.

By the way, the following hack fixes the above code, which 
otherwise exhausts the allowed memory size in a split 
second.

Yours truly,
Hakan

<?php
  $xml = '<root><node></node></root>';
  $xmldata = simplexml_load_string($xml);
  while (true) {
    $foo = $xmldata->node;
    foreach ($foo as $node)
    {
    }
  }
?>

This bug has been fixed in CVS.

Snapshots of the sources are packaged every three hours; this change
will be in the next snapshot. You can grab the snapshot at

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.
