get_defined_vars() and unset

[venkychinnu]

greetings !

i noticed that PHP was taking up too much memory on my server. i have zend optimizer (latest version) installed. i have too many templates and includes that work in the background so it is difficult to list and unset all the variables.

i would like to use get_defined_vars() and unset all of the variables in one shot.

i tried using a nested for each loop as get_defined_vars() returns a multi dimensional array but with no luck.

any help/ideas would be most welcome.

thanks in advance

I'm not sure what the answer to your
question is, but a quick look at www.php.net
and a search for get_defined_vars in the
function list gives some information. In
particular, take note of the second "User
contributed note" at the bottom of the
get_defined_vars page. That person states
that get_defined_vars can only access
variables in its scope. You didn't give
any details about what you were seeing, but
if you defined some function that does
this unsetting of all the defined variables,
perhaps that is what is causing it.

This is just a guess. Need more detailed information about what you have coded, and
what behavior you are seeing.
