Converting script

[Chris_Evans]

Hi there,
I'm looking to create a script which converts an XML file to PHP. Simple enough. 🙂

The problem lies in that the minimum file size is 12MB - sometimes higher (of the XML feed this is).

Obviously that goes over PHPs limit.

I don't have access to the ini file... I could make the adjustment via .htaccess but I'd rather stick to something else... can you clear out used memory perhaps as you go?

Any suggestions?

Chris

function ini_set()
Sets the value of the given configuration option.
Returns the old value on success, FALSE on failure.
The configuration option will keep this new value during the script's execution,
and will be restored at the script's ending.

http://php.net/manual/en/function.ini-set.php
List of php.ini variables and their default value
http://php.net/manual/en/ini.php#ini.list

There are 2 sizes you could mean. With these default values.
post_max_size = 8M, upload_max_filesize = 2M
Suppose you want to change 'post_max_size' in 'php.ini' to something,
just as long your php script is running.
This is how to do it:

// saves the current setting in $old_size and sets to 30MegaByte
$old_size = ini_set( "post_max_size", "30M" );

// do something
// your code

// this is really not necessary, because when page execution is finished
// will be set back anyway
// restore php.ini setting
ini_set( "post_max_size", $old_size );
