function is declaring new variables?

[GyuK]

i have an function thats gets looped quite some times in my script, it this function: 

func _iniReadSection($ininame,$inisec)
   dim $array[1][3]
   $j = 1
   $inih = fileopen($ininame,0)
   $inifile = FileReadToArray($inih)
   if ubound($inifile) < 10 Then
       return 0
   EndIf
   $inifile[0] = (ubound($inifile) - 1)
   for $i = 1 to $inifile[0]
       if $inifile[$i] = "[" & $inisec & "]" Then
           $start = $i + 1
       EndIf
   Next
   for $i = $start to $inifile[0]
   if not StringInStr($inifile[$i],"]") Then
       redim $array[$j + 1][3]
       $array[$j][1] = stringmid($inifile[$i],1,(stringinstr($inifile[$i],"=")-1))
       $array[$j][2] = stringmid($inifile[$i],(stringinstr($inifile[$i],"=")+1))
       $j += 1
   Else
       $array[0][0] = ubound($array) - 1
       return $array
   EndIf
   Next
   $array[0][0] = ubound($array) - 1
   return $array
EndFunc

if you try to do something like:

while 1
    $teste = _IniReadSection("config.ini","GERAL")
WEnd

the script will start getting so many memory till it gets to 4gb of ram and get a error, "Error allocating memory", there is something wrong with the function?, aren't the variables inside function supposed to be released once it reach the "return" line?

GyuK,

You open a file each time you enter the function [fileopen($ininame,0)] but you never close it - Windows will run out of handles pretty quickly, which is probably the cause of your problem.

Also, why are you not using the built-in IniReadSection function? It looks as if the array returned from your function is essentially similar.
