PHP变量被重写会释放内存吗

Jun 06, 2016 pm 08:08 PM
php

我知道unset($a)是会释放内存空间(PS:排除被引用情况)

那么如果我在一个循环中使用了一个比如$key这个变量那么当第二次循环的时候$key会变成1,那么这时候感觉是$key被重写了。所以这个时候不显式的使用unset的话,上一个$key还存在吗?

大部分回答并不尽如人意,大家貌似都把PHP当成编译性语言来解读了。不过结果恰恰相反,PHP是脚本语言,其特性和编译性语言是有差别的。

简单说说,PHP的变量依赖于一个内部实现 symbol_table 符号表,而符号表的基础实现是 HashTable ,也就是和PHP数组的基础实现是一致的。真是因为符号表的存在,让我们可以使用global标记全局变量,用如compact等函数直接从当前符号表中拉出变量出来。
那在谈谈题主说的unset($a)会不会马上释放空间,答案是否定的,unset支持从符号表中把名字为a的这个元素删掉了(只是标记这块空间又可用了,而不是释放空间)。
再说循环中重复更新$key这种情况,因为更新的是相同名字的变量,所以在符号表中他们是同一个元素,更新时就会更新相同的位置,之前元素的值就马上被覆盖了。

再说说申明了新的变量内存就会增加这个问题,答案是不确定。这是符号表基于 HashTable 实现的特性所致, HashTable 并不是增加一个元素就申请一个元素的内存,而是一次申请多个元素的内存(只是这些位置标记是未使用),而当 HashTable 被塞满时,再去申请新的多个元素的内存。也就是说,当我们申明或者赋值一个变量时,如果它不在符号表中,PHP会将它加入到符号表里,而如果这时候符号表没满,那会采用符号表中已申请而未使用的内存,如果符号表刚好的满的,则会申请新的内存出来存放,而新的内存不仅仅只有这个变量需要的内存这么小。

还真不好回答...
当 $key 未定义的时候是不占据内存的
当 $key = 1 的时候$key被分配内存,1存在这里
当 $key = 2 的时候,因为$key已经被分配内存了,所以不会再次分配,2存进去
没有历史记录。
我是这么认为的。

我记得曾经在哪里看过一篇文章说不建议二次赋值,性能问题

foreach的$key值就相当于for循环里的$i下标,不过和for不同的是foreach每循环一次指针下移;

$key 在 foreach 的时候每次会赋值

Explain JSON Web Tokens (JWT) and their use case in PHP APIs. Explain JSON Web Tokens (JWT) and their use case in PHP APIs. Apr 05, 2025 am 12:04 AM

JWT is an open standard based on JSON, used to securely transmit information between parties, mainly for identity authentication and information exchange. 1. JWT consists of three parts: Header, Payload and Signature. 2. The working principle of JWT includes three steps: generating JWT, verifying JWT and parsing Payload. 3. When using JWT for authentication in PHP, JWT can be generated and verified, and user role and permission information can be included in advanced usage. 4. Common errors include signature verification failure, token expiration, and payload oversized. Debugging skills include using debugging tools and logging. 5. Performance optimization and best practices include using appropriate signature algorithms, setting validity periods reasonably,

What are the magic methods of PHP? PHP's magic methods include: 1.\_\_construct, used to initialize objects; 2.\_\_destruct, used to clean up resources; 3.\_\_call, handle non-existent method calls; 4.\_\_get, implement dynamic attribute access; 5.\_\_set, implement dynamic attribute settings. These methods are automatically called in certain situations, improving code flexibility and efficiency.
