[Daniloffff]

Have php crash when processing a lot amounts of data.
tested on PHP v2.3.8 and 2.4.0

for fix problem need to replace this function

// clean up memory due to php5 circular references memory leak...
function clear()
{
    $this->dom = null;
    $this->parent = null;
    $this->parent = null;
    $this->children = null;
}

on this:
// clean up memory due to php5 circular references memory leak...
function clear()
{
unset($this->dom);
unset($this->parent);
unset($this->parent);
unset($this->children);
}

Thanks alot! I was going crazy with a Segment Fault and this did the jobb!

I cannot add a new comment but only edit an existing one:
I have spend over a day finding my bug. Was writing a script in windows and testing it with xampp. It did not give me a segmentation error. Eventually I installed VMware Player and installed Debian in a virtual machine with apache and mysql. That gave me a segmentation error in the error log which led me to this ticket. Finally I fixed the bug!

This actually didn't work for me, but when I removed all the lines from the method it started to work again.

Can confirm. After this update "segmentation fault: 11" & "zend_mm_heap corrupted" errors are gone.

[2012-11-16: Why can I edit this comment but not post a new
one? My question: Is there a test case and has this bug been
reported in the official bug tracker https://bugs.php.net/ ?
If not why not?]

Yes! This solved my problems :) Good call!

Please give me a test case for this (as in a web page that "generally" causes these memory errors, an once I test it, I'll update the code.

However, I note that the newest version of the code has:
function clear()
{
$this->dom = null;
$this->nodes = null;
$this->parent = null;
$this->children = null;
}

Are you using the most current version of the code?

Thanks a lot! Solved my problem!
