array memory allocation...

[robertsamanek]

hi,

i'd like to ask following question: i've got quite large php scripts with many requires etc. and in some functions i use arrays of many elements. i can imagine that these arrays need huge portions of memory, so:

when i first declare array in some function, is the memory after end of this function deallocated, or do i need to call unset($myarray) within this function - if that even helps (i mean unset)?

and: when i declare array as global, let us say on the beginning of some script, and in the middle of this script i do not need it anymore, helps calling unset($myarray)?

thank you,

robert

I don't know anywhere in the manuals where this is documented, but since PHP is open source, you can always RTFS (Read The Fine Source).
