I've written a script that connects to a mail server to download all attachments and store them on a database.
Since the mailbox is very large, and the mail server is quite slow, it takes a few hours to complete.
After processing about 10.000 messages (message count is not exact and varies), the script dies with error: "PHP Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 7077888) (tried to allocate 2815819 bytes)"
I've checked Task Manager and the memory usage of httpd.exe process gradually rises up to 1.5GB (after 1 and a half hours while the script is running), altough memory_get_usage() placed within the loop constantly reports something about 351.33kB, wich doesn't make me feel that there is a leak in my script. And even if there is a leak, how am I supposed to check it?
I'm running Apache/2.2.17 (Win32) with PHP/5.4.16 (SAPI) on Windows Server 2008 R2
My loop consists of reading email content with imap functions and storing attachment contents in database, one by one
I have switched to memory_get_usage(true), wich reported almost constantly 1.25MB
