Calculate Memory Usage of Array in PHP

Question

I am aware that I can get the memory used with

memory_get_peak_usage();

but is there a way to tell in advance how much memory an array will need?

Thanks!

Thanks but I am looking for a way to get the memory needed BEFORE executing the function. So I want to calculate the estimated memory needed beforehand. — Clms

This is not possible with a built-in function.

You need to know what is beeing stored inside the array and from that on you could calculate the memory needed.
