Memory leak on loop calling

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Using phpQuery in a loop process cause memory leaks, the PHP process grows at 
every new iteration. phpQuery::unloadDocuments(); doesn't help at all. Somehow 
the objects created by phpQuery must be unseted.

for ($i = 0;$i<=500;$i++) {
PhpQuery::newDocument($data, 'text/html');
//... some DOM selectors calls
phpQuery::unloadDocuments();
}

Open this in php CLI and monitor the process RAM usage

same issue also. also with active php5.3 gc it has the same behaviour.

Same here. php5.3.2, gc enabled.

hmmm I'm wrong. 

with unloadDocuments there is no leak. Only when unloadDocuments is missing the 
leak occurs. 

This doesn't prevent the leak: 

for ($i = 0;$i<=5000;$i++) {
$browser = PhpQuery::newDocument($content, 'text/html');
$browser=null;
gc_collect_cycles();
}       

The PHP in this case is not aware of the leak and the leak goes over the 
memory_limit set in php.ini.

That's strange because in my case phpQuery::unloadDocuments() doesn't free up 
RAM..

I can confirm the memory leak. I had a few scripts where I had to call 
PhpQuery::newDocument in a loop. With time, the script eat up more and more 
RAM. I tried something similar to @gjorgjio:

while condition
    $page = PhpQuery::newDocument($content, 'text/html');
    unset($page)
    gc_collect_cycles();
end

but this doesn't help. i will try unloadDocuments at some moment and let you 
know about the results.

No memory leaks by calling phpQuery::unloadDocuments() at each iteration.

I had a memory leak in by calling phpquery in a loop (php process ~80% memory 
usage), after calling unloadDocuments everytime in the loop, it's now only 1,5% 
memory usage.

I was experiencing problems with the phpQuery::newDocument() causing lots of 
memory usage.  I wasn't exactly calling it directly in a loop, but rather in a 
function that was being called in a loop.  Tried calling unset() on the object 
that was holding the return of phpQuery::newDocument(), but that didn't help.

I put phpQuery::unloadDocuments() at the end of my function call, and I no 
longer am seeing the "leaking" memory.
