We are running a windows nt4.0 box, informix 9.21 php4.04 and datadirector for web (informix webblade) Connecting to the database using ifx_connect() causes mtx.exe to steal memory and not releasing this memory. We are not using any ODBC so imho mtx.exe should not start at all. PHP source of the script: <? Header("Content-Type: image/gif"); $conn_id=ifx_connect(); if (! $conn_id) { echo(" geen dbase connectie"); } $browser=getenv("HTTP_USER_AGENT"); $refer=getenv("$HTTP_REFERER"); $rmadr=getenv("$REMOTE_ADDR"); $query_log="INSERT INTO sometable ( fields) VALUES (values);"; $query_banner="SELECT somefield FROM table where value=$bid;"; $res_id_1=ifx_query($query_log,$conn_id); $res_id_2=ifx_query($query_banner,$conn_id); $bestandsnaam=ifx_fetch_row($res_id_2); $theimage="." . $bestandsnaam["path"] . "/" . $bestandsnaam[id] . "." . $bestandsnaam[ext]; $fn=fopen("./$theimage","r"); fpassthru($fn); fclose("$fn"); ifx_free_result($res_id_1); ifx_free_result($res_id_2); ifx_close($conn_id); unset($bestandsnaam, $theimage, $fn, $browser, $refer, $rmadr, $query_log, $querie_banner, $res_id_1, $res_id_2, $conn_id ); ?> Can anyone tell me where this might go wrong?
