Remove Array from Memory?

[todayme]

I am not formiliar with PHP do you need to wip an array from memory after use, or does the language do it its self?

 

If you do have to wip the array so as not to keep a hold of memory how would you do it?

[itsmeArry]

use

unset($array);

[todayme]

use

unset($array);

 

Do you have to do this with variables as well?

When your script finishes, all memory used by it will be freed.  So for most scripts, you will not need unset()

 

Also, variables created and used inside a function will be freed at the end of the function (unless you have made them accessible outside the function, by returning them or putting them in a global variable)

 

Usually I only consider unset() if my script actually does run out of memory.
