Hi Everybody,

I have a couple of foreach loops which are ending in a for loop,
which causes the apache to consume the complete memory of the
server system the php engine is running on.

The nesting level is at round about three and looking like that:

$num_new = 4;
if (is_array($array)) {
foreach ($array as $key => value) {
if ($value['element'] == 'test1') {
foreach ($value['data'] as $skey => $svalue) {
echo $svalue;
}
} elseif ($value['element'] == 'test2') {
foreach ($value['data'] as $skey => $svalue) {
echo $svalue;
}
}
if ($num_new > 0) {

// this part causes the memory leak

for ($i = 0; $i < $num_new; $i++) {
echo "sgasdgga";
}
}
}
}

I dont know if the above code is causing the memory leak the source
is a little more complex, if nessessary I will provide some more code,

Thank you!

I hope for a solution

If you don't know how are we supposed to know?

Add

memory_get_usage() calls all over the place and see what's going on.

eg:

error_log(__LINE__ . "\t" . memory_get_usage() . "\n", 3,
'/path/to/log.file');

at various spots and go from there.

I would do a in_array here..

if (in_array($value['element'], array('test1', 'test2') ) ) {
foreach ($value['data'] as $skey => $svalue) {
echo $svalue;
} }

where are you lowering this number? From what I can tell, it is always
going to be 4

you have a $i - 0 (a minus sign) not equals


How about that?
