A PHP extension that dumps the content of PHP process memory to JSON and provides CLI analyzers to inspect it. It helps developers understand memory usage and diagnose memory leaks, inspired by Java's jmap -histo tool.

Use cases

• find memory leaks in a PHP application
• dump PHP process memory to a JSON file
• summarize object and string counts in memory
• identify objects holding the most child references
• debug growing memory usage in long-running PHP scripts
• analyze which classes consume the most memory

When to choose

• you suspect a memory leak in a PHP 7.x or 8.0 application
• you need a heap dump of a running PHP process for offline analysis
• you want jmap-style memory histograms for PHP

When to avoid

• you need profiling of CPU time or execution performance rather than memory
• you run PHP 8.1+ or newer versions not listed as supported
• you want a continuous production monitoring solution rather than on-demand debugging
