PHP still serves us great, it's very stable and usually painless to work with. But this week I've spent some quality time with PHP 5.3 (alpha4-dev) since our long-running PHP command line scripts were (still) leaking memory…

So I reported my third memory leak in PHP today, bug #47038 (the older ones were bug #46889 in PHP 5.2.8 and bug #29838 in PHP 4.3.8). But it's great that the classic recursive reference memory leak has been fixed in 5.3!
