OK, recompiled with the latest STABLE and I got the same results. Then in a flash of inspiration, I remembered that I have xdebug installed on the Linux box with collect_params on - Sure enough, when I turn this option off, the problem goes away. So I'll go away and hide ... Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-26 10:20:32] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php4-STABLE-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-STABLE-latest.zip I tested using this and got pretty same results on both linux and macosx. Please test it.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-26 09:55:39] carl at topthetable dot com Thanks for your reply, and better script. Here are my results, showing the times on the Redhat and OSX boxes respectively ... Redhat 7.2 (PIII 700Mhz): 0.000356078147888 3.09110200405 24.5502359867 55.3548690081 136.626052976 ... Gave up waiting. As you can see, this is not correct behaviour. You can clearly see that the time isn't constant, nor increasingly linearly. I therefore say there is something wrong.

This is using 4.3.1 (compiled from source) on a Redhat 7.2 box. The box has about 80Mb free, so it's not a paging issue. It works as expected on Mac OS X running 4.3.1-dev. Looking at PHP's and Zend's source, I would expect the time taken to return the count() of an array to be similar regardless of the size of the array. Below is a script to demonstrate the problem. <? $st = microtime(); echo "Script started: ".microtime()."\n"; dosize( 10 ); dosize( 20 ); dosize( 50 ); dosize( 100 ); dosize( 200 ); dosize( 500 ); dosize( 1000 ); dosize( 5000 ); dosize( 10000 ); function dosize( $y ) { echo "Doing size $y\n"; echo " Starting array building:".microtime()."\n"; $t = array(); for ( $i=0; $i<$y; $i++ ) { $t[] = array( array( "3", "1" ), "3", array( array ( "5", "1", "8" ) ) ); } echo " Array built: ".microtime()."\n"; count( $t ); echo " Count finished: ".microtime()."\n"; } ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=22435&edit=1
