James:
Thanks for taking time to help.
The row size is small by my standards (see below). The query result
has just under 300,000 records, and it's puking about 90% of the way
through.
Changing the while loop to:
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc( $result )) {
$n++;
echo sprintf( "%7d %12d\n", $n, memory_get_peak_usage() );
} // while
the tail end of the output becomes:
274695 134203084
274696 134203524
274697 134203964
PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to
allocate 240 bytes) in xx3.php on line 26
Changing the while loop further to:
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc( $result )) {
unset( $row );
$n++;
echo sprintf( "%7d %12d\n", $n, memory_get_peak_usage() );
} // while
the tail end of the output becomes:
274695 134202232
274696 134202672
274697 134203112
274698 134203552
274699 134203992
PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to
allocate 240 bytes) in xx3.php on line 27
So it does get a little farther through the dataset, but not much.
