Hi!
Can't you just test if the file contains anything, and if it doesn THEN run
exec-command?
Best regards

Windows platform
Thank you for your reply.
Unfortunately your method also causes memory leak.
I have tested operating system and I have discovered
that batch script listed below causes the same memory leak.
That is why I think now that it is however not PHP fault but Windows bug.
The Windows batch script contains:
for /L %%i in (1,1,500) do cmd /C test.bat
where test.bat is just an empty file.
Maybe someone knows how to solve this problem?
Best regards

After long hours of fighting and testing I have fixed the problem.
It was caused by an additional firewall installed on both computers
used by me for testing process. When I uninstalled it memory leak
disappeared.
Thanks all for help.

hmmmm...
just tested it on my box: win xp sp2, apache 2.2.2, php 5.1.4 and 1gb of
ram. ran it under CLI.
copied your code and and created a 0 btye test.bat file.
rebooted the machine so a fresh start.
first time, i actually gained 3 megs of ram back, after the process
timed out after 60 seconds.
second time, after timing out, came back to same amount.

Hi
I have a big problem with shell commands execution via PHP.
I have written a very short PHP script ilustrating the problem:
<?php
for($i=0;$i<1000;$i++)
{
exec("test.bat");
}
?>
test.bat is just an empty file.
This script causes about 10 MB memory leak. It can be observed
by usage of performance system monitor. This problems occurs in
all available enviroments:
- IIS Webserver.
- Apache webserver
- PHP command line interpreter
Memory leak is observable only on Windows platform
(tested on Windows XP). On Linux everything works OK.
Does someone know how to solve this problem? Any help appreciated

Hi!
I have solved the problem, but I just wondered if there were any options. I use
@scandir, and when no error occurs then it shows folders from the specified
folder in scandir-function. But this doesn't seem like "good" programming
practice... ;-)

Yeah, that's kinda of heavyweight solution to the problem ( not to
mention is much slower than using opendir(), readdir(), and closedir()
since scandir() sorts the results as well ).
If you are just checking for access, either opendir() or is_readable()
should work much faster. But I guess I don't really understand the
context of your issue either, which may dictate why one way of doing
things might be better than another.

That bit doesn't have much to do with PHP. You need to read the
documentation for the office web components.
