DOMDocument PHP Memory Leak

Question

Running PHP 5.3.6 under MAMP on MAC, the memory usage increases every x calls (between 3 and 8) until the script dies from memory exhaustion. How do I fix this?

Answer 1

You can try forcing the garbage collector to run with gc_collect_cycles(), but otherwise you're out of luck. PHP doesn't expose much of anything to control its internal memory usage, let alone memory used by a plugin library.
