What are the potential pitfalls of running a PHP script continuously on the server for extended periods of time?

Running a PHP script continuously on the server for extended periods of time can lead to memory leaks and performance degradation. To prevent this, it's important to periodically restart the script or implement proper memory management techniques to free up resources. 

// Example code to periodically restart the PHP script
while (true) {
    // Your script logic here

    // Restart the script every 10 minutes
    sleep(600);
}
