After some further tests. I discovered that occasionally I do still get a memory leak in PHP 5.3. I using the $feed->_destruct method prior to unsetting $item and $feed and creating a new SimplePie object, as shown in the wiki:
http://simplepie.org/wiki/faq/i_m_getting_memory_leaks $feed->__destruct(); // Do what PHP should be doing on it's own. unset($item); unset($feed); No ideas? -Tim --- In simplepie-support@yahoogroups.com, "tlhmh1" <tlh...@...> wrote: > > I'm aware of the memory leak issues with PHP 5.2 and under, but I suspect > these same errors may be causing problems in PHP 5.3. > > I'm currently using SimplePie to process hundreds of feeds.
