I'm running PHP 5.3.8 on FreeBSD 8.2 with MySQL 5.1.55. The script below is designed to be able to WHILE it's way through a MySQL query result set, and process each row. However, it runs out of memory a little after a quarter million rows. The schema fields total to about 200 bytes per row, so the row size doesn't seem very large. Why is this running out of memory? Thank you!
