ID: 40172 Comment by: travis at pause dot ca Reported By: diogo86 at gmail dot com Status: No Feedback Bug Type: Performance problem Operating System: Debian PHP Version: 5.2.0 New Comment:
I'm experiencing the same issue: date() increases memory usage (for us) by about 17-20kb each time it's called. We're running Redhat Enterprise on our server with PHP 5.2.4. We've also experienced the problem on Windows XP with PHP 5.2.3. Interestingly gmdate() is not affected by the issue, leading me to think it was a problem related somehow to the timezone file. After a little investigation in that direction we found a fix. Simply specify date.timezone in your php.ini file and no more memory leak for date(). eg: date.timezone = America/Toronto So this bug can be replicated, it does exist (at least in the versions mentioned above), but there is a workaround until the leak is fixed (if it hasn't been in CVS already). Cheers!
