A complete script was requested. To run the test you will need some mysql
tables. I can provide sanitized versions of production data. Please advise as
to how to upload.
Here is the script.

Please provide a _complete_ script for testing. Also mind that increasing
memory_get_usage() values don't necessarily represent memory leaks but includes
different cache data or memory which will be re-used.

Description:
------------
I have found a memory leak in connection with several production PHP scripts.
While there are many bug reports relating to memory leaks, I did not find
anything similar to our situation, which is very easy to reproduce.
The scripts that have been affected by this memory leak have been in continuous
production use since 2006. We did not notice a memory leak prior to when we
first upgraded to PHP 5.3.5. It is possible that there was a smaller leak prior
to this time that merely escaped notice. However, before reporting the problem,
we upgraded to 5.3.6 to make sure it had not been corrected. The results in
this
ticket are thus for 5.3.6.
Below I have given the main loop of a "small reproducible code." As you can
see,
the only thing done in this test is to fetch the rows, and print out memory
usage every 3000 rows.
Regarding the mysql connector: originally the test was run with mysqli_connect.
It was suggested via Experts-Exchange to try the mysql_connector. This was done
but the results were identical. The full script can works with both
mysql_connect and mysqli_connect, controlled by a define.
The bug signs:
1. On 5.3.6, the "after SQL" memory usage jumps to 13MB, whereas on 5.2.4 it
stays at the initial low value (262144 on 5.2.4 but 786432 on 5.3.6).
2. On 5.3.6, the memory usage grows dramatically, whereas on 5.2.4 it does not
(the "id" lines are displayed after each 3000 rows, where the id is the primary
key for the row). In the production scripts, this leads to a crash when the
memory limit is exceeded.
Please note:
1. the SQL statement is composed of a UNION of 5 relatively simple SELECTs,
making the single statement relatively complex.
2. The expected and actual results shown below are achieved by connecting to
the
same database.
I you would like the URL of the actual script, which has the connection
routines
and the SQL (which is relatively complex), please let me know as I would have
to
remove the passwords, etc. I could also send a mysqldump of a sanitized version
of the database. The bzip2 of the dump file is about 35MB.
Test script:
---------------
echo "Test Autoemail Memory Leak\n";
echo 'start run mem=' . memory_get_usage(true) . "\n";
$query = get_query();
$rs = SQL($link, $query);
if ($rs)
{
// main loop
$cnt = 0;
echo 'after SQL mem=' . memory_get_usage(true) . "\n";
$func = (MYSQL_ENHANCED) ? 'mysqli_fetch_row' : 'mysql_fetch_row';
while($row = $func($rs))
{
if (++$cnt % 3000 == 0)
{
echo ' id=' . $row[1] . ' mem=' .
memory_get_usage(true) . "\n";
}
}
echo "EOJ\n";
}
else
{
echo $errmsg;
}
Full script is at http://www.rephunter.net/test-autoemail-memory.php. The web
server will execute the script if accessed in a browser.
Expected result:
----------------
Showing no leak on Windows VM PHP 5.2.4 connecting to same database
