I'm running through a large dataset and am generating/manipulating XML
documents for each record. What's happening is that after a while, I
get a fatal error saying:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 167772160 bytes exhausted (tried
to allocate 32650313 bytes)
Each XML file I generate (an manipulate) can range from just a few
megs to upwards of 35 megs. Judging from the error above, it looks
like the memory for the DOMDocument objects I instantiate is not
getting freed; it just continues to stay in memory until the memory is
completely exhausted. The method (in my object) I am using to
instantiate a new DOMDocument is as follows:
protected function createCleanDomDocument()
{
/*
if(( isset( $this->oDomXPath )) && ( !is_null( $this->oDomXPath )))
{
unset( $this->oDomXPath );
}
if(( isset( $this->oDomDocument )) && ( !is_null( $this->oDomDocument )))
{
unset( $this->oDomDocument );
}
*/
$this->oDomDocument = new DOMDocument( '1.0', 'iso-8859-1' );
$this->oDomXPath = new DOMXpath( $this->oDomDocument );
}
which is used in both the constructor of my object and in a few other
places. I would think that when the new DOMDocument is instantiated,
the memory used for the old value would get freed. As you can see,
I've even tried to unset the variables but that doesn't seem to help
matters much, either.
Does anyone know how (or even if) I can explicitly free the memory
used for the DOMDocument? Any help/advice would be greatly
appreciated!
thnx,
Christoph
I've had exactly the same problem and couldn't find a way around it;
even after unsetting every variable in my scripts inside a for/while
loop; in the end I opted for a CLI script which opened worker threads
then killed/restarted them when memory usage was X.
