I have checked the memory whilst sending and receiving data over one connection, and I appear to be correctly clearing variables, as the memory returns to its previous value.

But for some reason if I make a new connection, then close the connection, memory is leaked. I believe the problem may be occurring when a socket is accepted.

I am using PHP 5.2.10

Hopefully one of you can find the time to have a play with the source and figure out where its gone wrong. Thanks in advance

Edit: sorry you might need to change the socket accept back to:
if ($newchannel = @socket_accept($socket[‘socket’]))

    The Channel array was never removed upon closing the connection, surprised no one picked up on this. Memory usage is now super tight.

    unset($this->sockets[$socket_id][‘channels’][$channel_id]);

    But it does mean that any event for LOST_SOCKET_CHANNEL is pretty useless for the time being.

    Will accept my own answer when stack over flow allows. Thanks for all your help ppl .. i guess..
