intercept Allowed memory error

[lbottoni]

hi,
can i intercept this error?

PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes
exhausted (tried to allocate 12 bytes)

echo "1-".memory_get_usage() . "<br>";
$Search = ldap_search($Conn,$SYS["LDAP"]["ResellerPath"],$FilterOK,$Attributes);
$Get = ldap_get_entries($Conn,$Search);
echo "2-".memory_get_usage() . "<br>";

1=80376 memory
2=9775912 memory

if i write this, i resolve the problem...

ini_set("memory_limit","16M");

but i can do this?

echo "1-".memory_get_usage() . "<br>";
$Search = ldap_search($Conn,$SYS["LDAP"]["ResellerPath"],$FilterOK,$Attributes);
$Get = ldap_get_entries($Conn,$Search);
/* this */
if(memory_get_usage()>7000000){ini_set("memory_limit","16M");}
/* end this */
echo "2-".memory_get_usage() . "<br>";

I don't think you can have your own error-handler for that type of error, as PHP will halt execution when it arises. (I'm not 100% positive about this, so would appreciate any confirmation or denial.) So to the best of my knowledge, you'll have to use preventative measures which anticipate the problem (and either increase the memory allocation or prevent running the offending code) rather than reactive measures.
