I have a text file that I read into a large string so that I can parse the data records within. The file is around 240,000 characters and it is a tab delimited data file.

It seems to copy fine from the file:

if (file_exists($target))
{
$contents = file_get_contents($target);
}

but when I try to move the characters as I convert from strings to ASCII numbers as so:

$j=strlen($contents)-1;

for($i = 0;$i <=$j; $i++)
{
$c1[$i] = ord($contents{$i});
}

The debugger never comes back, it just goes on forever. If I replace the limiting parameter $j with constant numbers and work my way up until it fails, I can go to around 50000 bytes of transfer before it hangs up. The conversion and array copy are accurate until this happens, then then all local variables values are no longer shown in the debugger locals window, and it must be restarted. This is acting exactly like a memory problem, like writing past an array boundary and writing over program memory. I can not find anywhere that a size limit is placed on an array in PHP, so I presume there is one in PHPEd.

OR, I am just overlooking something stupid that's so obvious I can't see it.

Any help with large arrays appreciated.

It is a problem that may happen in DBG 2.16.3 and all versions before.
Has been fixed in DBG 2.16.5 which is a part of phped 3.3 hotfix 1.
Phped 3.3 hotfix 1 is avaialable to NuSphere customers for many weeks.

Can PHPEd V 3.2.1 be fixed by adding this newer debugger component?

I have some doubts if PhpED-3.2.1 will work with dbg-2.16.5... At least it's not supported. I'm sorry, I have very little to do there. 3.2.1 is a service pack #1 for phped 3.2 and closes almost all the problems discovered in the this version. By now it is in the frozen state. I can only suggest to apply to sales and you will get a good discount for upgrade. Contact our sales, they are well trained, prompt and highly responsive.
