## #43779 — Martin Koch Andersen — 2009-04-26T12:34:46+00:00

Hi,

 `strtotime()` has been leaking memory for quite a while now.

First there was:
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=46889

Now there is:
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=47285

There are proposed patches in the latter bug-report.

Seems like progress on fixing this has kind of stalled. In certain use 
case scenarios, this is a serious problem, that prevents following the 
usual PHP upgrade path (stuck with php 5.2.7).

If anyone has the time (and skills) to take a look at #47285, it would 
be very much appreciated.

Kind regards,
