php4 on WinXP vs. Linux -- memory problems

Hi.

I'm developing a php 4.3.10 script, extracting data from webpages.
Using string functions (strpos, substr) alot, some arrays (both static
& dynamic) also data is going to a MySQL 5 DB. Am using
mysql_free_result() function to free memory, but I'm still having
memory problems -- keep getting the memory exhausted error. I'm
developing this on Windows XP, but the live site is on Linux. Would
this problem be a glitch in my code, in php itself, or a server
problem??

any thoughts/suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
Chris

PS.

I forgot to mention that the memory problems are in the Linux server.
I haven't run my script fully on WinXP yet so I don't know if I'll get
the same error.

How many rows are there (in comparison) in the development and production
databaes? Are you loading all that data into memory anywhere in your code?
Are you unset()ting the variables holding the result data?

Is this memory exhausted error from PHP or from the MySQL server.
