memory_get_usage

(PHP 4 >= 4.3.2, PHP 5)

memory_get_usage返回分配给 PHP 的内存量

说明

int memory_get_usage ([ bool $real_usage = false ] )

返回当前分配给你的 PHP 脚本的内存量,单位是字节(byte)。

参数

real_usage

如果设置为 TRUE,获取系统分配的真实内存尺寸。如果未设置或者设置为 FALSE,将是 emalloc() 报告使用的内存量。

返回值

返回内存量字节数。

更新日志

版本 说明
5.2.1 不需要在编译时使用 --enable-memory-limit 选项就能够使用这个函数。
5.2.0 增加了参数 real_usage

范例

Example #1 一个 memory_get_usage() 例子

<?php
//这只是个例子,下面的数字取决于你的系统

echo memory_get_usage() . "\n"// 36640

$a str_repeat("Hello"4242);

echo 
memory_get_usage() . "\n"// 57960

unset($a);

echo 
memory_get_usage() . "\n"// 36744

?>

Note, that the official IEC-prefix for kilobyte, megabyte and so on are KiB, MiB, TiB and so on.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tebibyte
At first glance this may sound like "What the hell? Everybody knows, that we mean 1024 not 1000 and the difference is not too big, so what?". But in about 10 years, the size of harddisks (and files on them) reaches the petabyte-limit and then the difference between PB and PiB is magnificent.
Better to get used to it now. :)

It is claimed that this function calls the PHP memory garbage collector by some of the commenters.
A quick check of the source code (PHP 5.2.9) shows that this function does not do any garbage collection.
From var.c:
ZEND_API size_t zend_memory_usage(int real_usage TSRMLS_DC)
{
if (real_usage) {
return AG(mm_heap)->real_size;
} else {
#if MEMORY_LIMIT
return AG(mm_heap)->size;
#else
return AG(mm_heap)->real_size;
#endif
}
}
And from zend_alloc.c
/* {{{ proto int memory_get_usage([real_usage])
Returns the allocated by PHP memory */
PHP_FUNCTION(memory_get_usage) {
zend_bool real_usage = 0;
if (zend_parse_parameters(ZEND_NUM_ARGS() TSRMLS_CC, "|b", &real_usage) == FAILURE) {
RETURN_FALSE;
}

RETURN_LONG(zend_memory_usage(real_usage TSRMLS_CC));
}
/* }}} */

I can confirm that this function triggers a garbage collection. I have a script that exceeded 128MB of memory at some point and ended with a fatal error. I was confused, because the script dealt with some large files initially, but the memory load from that point on should have been marginal, and the error occurred at the very end.
Those large files were dealt in a dedicated function and i even used unset() on the variable holding the file after the file was written to disk inside that function. So the memory should have been cleared twice, first after the unset() call, and second once the function ended.
To debug the memory usage, I called memory_get_usage(true) at some points and echo-ed the memory allocation. Just by adding a few echos here and there in the script, the memory usage never exceeded 1MB overhead (on top of the current file size) and the memory error disappeared.

To get the memory usage in KB or MB

<?php
function convert($size)
 {
    
$unit=array('b','kb','mb','gb','tb','pb');
    return @
round($size/pow(1024,($i=floor(log($size,1024)))),2).' '.$unit[$i];
 }

echo 
convert(memory_get_usage(true)); // 123 kb
?>

not sure how this works internally but I have observed sort of side effects here: calling this function apparently triggers PHP's "garbage collector" -- and frees some memory. I managed to "fix" some savagely coded mess of a web application solely by calling this function just before the code that would usually throw out-of-memory errors. the php version there was 5.2.10

Decision a memory_get_usage problem for windows system

Tested OS: Windows XP
Server: Apache

PHP must be loaded as CGI to get correctly memory usage by Process ID ( getmypid() ) and with cmd-tools like tasklist.exe

PHP as CGI have your own PID instead constant Apache PID and you get a true memory size independed form Apache memory usage.

Configure in httpd.conf of Apache:

1. Comment the line like this:
LoadModule php4_module "/usr/local/php/sapi/php4apache.dll"
or
LoadModule php5_module "/usr/local/php5/php5apache.dll"

2. Add this and edit your path to php:
<Directory "z:/usr/local/php">
  Options ExecCGI
</Directory>
ScriptAlias "/__php_dir__/" "z:/usr/local/php/"
Action application/x-httpd-php "/__php_dir__/php.exe"

3. Restart Apache

Use this PHP-code:

<?php
/**
* A memory_get_usage() for Windows System, wich compiled without --enable-memory-limit 
* PHP must be loaded as CGI

If nothing else in the user notes below works for you, you can get a very (VERY) rough estimate of PHP memory usage by outputting the $GLOBALS array, stripping it of indentation whitespace, and counting the characters in the resulting string.  This method has a very high overhead (to be expected), but works on all operating systems, regardless of whether or not they have the --enable-memory-limit config option set.  I find that the syntax overhead of the print_r() statement roughly accounts for the PHP runtime base memory usage.

The code below is set up to work on all arrays, not just the $GLOBALS array.  Keep in mind that outside data referenced by resource IDs, such as database results and open file data, is not included in this total.

<?php

function array_size($arr) {
  
ob_start();
  
print_r($arr);
  
$mem ob_get_contents();
  
ob_end_clean();
  
$mem preg_replace("/\n +/"""$mem);
  
$mem strlen($mem);
  return 
$mem;
}

$memEstimate array_size($GLOBALS);

?>

Use only if being off to either side by at least 20% is acceptible for your purposes.

The Win XP / 2003 workaround script will also work with windows 2000 with a few slight modifications.

Please note that you'll need the pslist.exe utility from http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/PsTools.html because win/2000 itself does not provide a task list utility.

<?php

function getMemUsage()
{
     
       if (
function_exists('memory_get_usage'))
       {
           return 
memory_get_usage();
       }
       else if ( 
substr(PHP_OS,0,3) == 'WIN')
       {
           
// Windows 2000 workaround

           
$output = array();

When you need to get the OS, do not use $_SERVER['OS'] or $_ENV['OS'], better use PHP_OS constant !
<?php
if (substr(PHP_OS,0,3)=='WIN') {
  
// [...]
}
?>

You also have other values such as CYGWIN_NT-5.0, Linux, ... this is the best way to get system's os (anyone on linux can do an "export OS=windows")

webNOSPAMsjwans at hotmail dot com (2004-12-01 07:09:52)

A quick and dirty Windows XP / 2003 wordaround:

<?php

{
        
        if (

        {
            return 
memory_get_usage();
        }
        else if ( 
strposstrtolower($_SERVER["OS"]), 'windows') !== false)
        {
            
// Windows workaround
            
$output = array();
            
            
exec('tasklist /FI "PID eq ' getmypid() . '" /FO LIST'$output);            
            return 
substr($output[5], strpos($output[5], ':') + 1);

[EDIT by danbrown AT php DOT net: This is intended by the author to only be used with PHP 4 < 4.3.2.]

I'd just like to point out that although sandeepc at myrealbox dot com's idea for displaying the current memory usage is a good one, it's perhaps a bad idea to pipe the entire process list through grep. A better performing method would be to select only the process we're interested in:

<?php
$pid 
getmypid();
error_log('MEMORY USAGE (% KB PID ): ' . `ps --pid $pid --no-headers -o%mem,rss,pid`);
?>

True, it's not much of a performance boost, but every bit helps.

ad-rotator.com (2004-05-14 10:31:16)

The method sandeepc at myrealbox dot com posted yields larger memory usage, my guess is that it includes all the PHP interpreter/internal code and not just the script being run.
1) Use ps command
MEMORY USAGE (% KB PID ): 0.8 12588 25087 -> about 12MB
2) Use memory_get_usage()
int(6041952) -> about 6MB
