[FX.php List] Memories....MORE

[Jonathan Schwartz]

More on the question about how memory is used during a script...

This issue came up as I have created a batch scrip that process 
multiple records offline.

I've come to realize that use of includes, as a tool for simplifying 
a big script, by definition, requires more memory for each iteration 
of the loop. Here is a simplistic example:

foreach( blah)
	{
	include (dothis.php)
	include (log.php)
	include (dothat.php)
	include (log.php')
	include (dotheother.php)
	include (log.php')
	}

If the includes are changed to include_once, then the includes don't 
run after the first instance in the loop..

As is, the script runs, requiring more memory for each iteration of 
the loop....and will eventually run out of memory.

Will the same thing happen if I simply remove the includes and dump 
all the scripts into one big honkin' script?

What to do?
