Garbage collection problem?

[petermichaux@yahoo.com]

Hi,

When I run either of the following scripts it runs to completion and
prints "end" if $limit<=1e4. If $limit>=1e5 then somewhere after many
loops the script stops and I do not see the final message "end". Is
there garbage I should be collecting? Am I hitting a type limit? Do php
scripts have any other limit that I might be hitting?

I'm confused!

Thanks,
Peter

}

echo 'end';

Is the web browser just not willing to wait longer? Same results in
Firefox and Safari.

Or are you hitting the php timeout limit (default 30 seconds)?
