I had assumed he was using a CakePHP shell script. I agree trying to run a month-long PHP HTTP request is not considered normal and should not really be expected to work. But there's nothing in the design of the PHP language that would make a month-long or longer PHP command line script improper, and I think that usage should be supported, even within CakePHP. The CakePHP book's sole example of what one might want to do with a shell script is to run a report [1]; that's exactly what this thread is about -- though admittedly it's a very large report. I don't know how hard it is to identify and eliminate this unwanted memory usage; I have not attempted to identify it.
