I'm getting the PHP error

failed to open stream: Too many open files.

I suspect the problem is that I'm not closing something properly, but to find out what, I need to get a list of currently open files when this error occurs. How do I find this information? This is on a shared Apache server.

Thanks.

In Linux you can use `lsof` to get a list of open files. For windows you can use `openfiles` – apokryfos Jan 11 '17 at 14:27
Thanks, that's very helpful. I will try to include a call to lsof in my PHP error handling. – rowan.bradley May 06 '17 at 17:15
