Hi all,
I'm having some pain with this process. I'll try to explain it well, my
english is little bad... :-)

Does the php garbage collector keep track of uncollectable objects /
zvals as python gc does?
It is some way to freed some memory I know it should be really
unreferenced? Some thing like a manual force to the garbage collection
of a zval -associative array at php level-?
Perhaps should I use a different mechanism for storing the associative
arrays so I could not suffer this issue?
I don't think there is anything you can do to force garbage collection.
note that the garbage collector is not capable of freeing memory for zvals
that contain circular references (IIRC) - e.g. 2 objects with properties
pointing to each other (I assume the same problem occurs if you have 2 arrays
with items that are references to each other [or each others items?]).
if you have circular references I would try to find a way to do it without
them - it should help memory consumption (assuming you even have any
references in your arrays)
I take you are unset()ing the relevant variables already in your code?
If my trouble is not very clear, please don't hesitate to ask me.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Gonzalo.
