Preventing fatal error from occuring

[baby_g]

Hi,

From time to time, my php script gets this fatal error message:

 
<b>Fatal error</b>:  Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 920 bytes) in <b>/home/root/php/updateuser.php</b> on line <b>107</b><br /> 

Line 107 is within a while loop. It appears that memory overloaded 8Mb. Is there a way I can make an if statement to test if memory > 7Mb, then break out the while loop so the error won't be outputed? If so, how?

Thanks in advance,

How does the script look like ?

There are three ways:

1. try to optimize the script
2. if php has been compiled with --enable-memory-limit you can use memory_get_usage() to see how much memory has been allocated to your script.
3. increase the memory_limit variable in php.ini and restart the web server
