Hmm, are you using a tuplestore? The PL/php code for return_next looks
like this:
ZEND_FUNCTION(return_next)
{ ... some stuff ...
/* Use the per-query context so that the tuplestore survives */ oldcxt =
MemoryContextSwitchTo(rsi->econtext->ecxt_per_query_memory);
/* Form the tuple */ tup = plphp_srf_htup_from_zval(param, current_attinmeta, current_memcxt);
/* First call? Create the tuplestore. */ if (!current_tuplestore) current_tuplestore =
tuplestore_begin_heap(true,false, work_mem);
/* Save the tuple and clean up */ tuplestore_puttuple(current_tuplestore, tup); heap_freetuple(tup);
MemoryContextSwitchTo(oldcxt);
}
