I had my site working flawless with 8mb video and photo uploads, then my host changed servers, and no files would upload, they finally got some working but only 2.5mb in gallery and only 4 mb in forum, on larger uploads I get this error.. anyone have a clue? They say they are working on it but maybe someone here has had the problem before.. I used a .htaccess file to bypass the limits berfore but they dont work on this server..

HELP...

here is the error message..

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 16777216 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 5502163 bytes) in /usr/local/pem/vhosts/22474/webspace/httpdocs/includes/class_core.php on line 1696

Your host must increase the PHP/MySQL limits.

I use to use the .htaccess file to bypass it, they say they will not work now.. so is that why I get the error? I am considering changing to a new host but I am worried I will loose data and my site as it is...
