[mapserver-users] mapscript memory

[Alan Boudreault]

Hi Charlotte,

This is a known issue with PHP Mapscript. With the way the "object" are 
currently made, complex objects (that have references to other object, like 
mapObj) are not properly freed when we delete the php object. Note that the 
memory is well freed as soon as the php script ends.

Thanks,
Alan
