Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 737280 bytes) in /home/sites/mypage.co.uk/public_html/forums/private.php(2167) : eval()'d code on line 211

I'm going to check out this private file now.

Have any of you received this message before?

php is trying to allocate more memory than its allowed when executing that file.

edit php.ini & raise the "memory_limit"

Im inside the private php file now

PHP Code:

// ############################### start download pm ###############################
// downloads selected private messages to a file type of user's choice
if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'downloadpm')
{
    if (($current_memory_limit = ini_size_to_bytes(@ini_get('memory_limit'))) < 128 * 3024 * 3024 AND $current_memory_limit > 0)
    {
        @ini_set('memory_limit', 128 * 1024 * 1024); 


That is what the limit currently reads. However, chaning it still raises the same message.

What does php.ini state the memory_limit is set at?

Hmm I fear im in the wrong file. Where is this php.ini file?

I think i may have found it.

[snakes1100]

Depends on the OS & there can be more than one, also depends if your on a vhosted server, as you may be allowed local override, which that case, it should be in your root/public_html dir, then just set it there.

A info.php file will tell you what configuration file its using and its location as well, at the top of the info file.

memory_limit = 128M

via ssh:
updatedb
find / -name php.ini -print
nano /etc/php.ini
change variable
restart crapache

Nope cant find it
