Description: ------------ After setting preferred_state to beta and doing a list-all, PHP runs out of memory after fetching the entire list via XML::RPC. Reproduce code: --------------- [root@BorgCube pear]# pear config-set preferred_state beta [root@BorgCube pear]# pear list-all Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted at (null):0 (tried to allocate 2949120 bytes) in /usr/share/pear/XML/RPC.php(689) : eval()'d code on line 742 Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted at (null):0 (tried to allocate 0 bytes) in Unknown on line 0

I noticed this too. It's possibly because XML_RPC builds an enormous string to eval(), and keeps the resulting array (quite large as well) in memory. Not sure of a good fix for this aside from rewriting the package to not use eval()...

That should be solved using only the required fields in the RPC calls. However this is not a permanent solution, as PEAR growing, list-all respons will grow as well. What's about changing your php.ini for the CLI? If you use the web frontend, you have to wait a bit then. Paging requests do not exist yet. pierre

I get the same when doing pear search LiveUser for example. Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 2949120 bytes) in /usr/share/pear/XML/RPC.php(750) : eval()'d code on line 938 Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 0 bytes) in Unknown on line 0

Change your php.ini for now. --Pierre

what should the php.ini changes be ?

I found it on some page: The following line needs to be changed: memory_limit = 8M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (8MB) and increase the limit.

you can also use the peardev command, which has no memory limit, so marking as bogus
