README

The dump-meminfo command: dumps the memory of an already running PHP process to a JSON file and prints its path. It is a thin wrapper over meminfo_dump_process() of the meminfo extension.

composer require --dev vanta/dump-meminfo
vendor/bin/dump-meminfo <pid> [--dir=DIR] [--signal=SIG] [--timeout=SEC] [--force] [--count=N] [--interval=TIME]

--count=3 --interval=5m takes a series of dumps and prints their paths in order. Opened together in the browser UI, they show what grows at every step and the objects left behind between the first two.

The command needs the meminfo extension loaded, and so does the process it dumps. Install the extension with PIE:

pie install vanta/meminfo
