Fatal error: Allowed memory size

[gvanto]

I'm trying to read in a csv file [using php func file() ] which is 30MB large.

I got the Fatal memory error below; googled it, and modified the php.ini file (located in /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini ) to have 64M memory limit.

Restarted apache server (restarted entire machine), but STILL getting the error below.

I'm running Kubuntu Hardy Heron (awesome distro!)

If anyone has advice on this, would be much appreciated!

Many thanks

do a phpinfo() and see if it is reading the correct php.ini

ah good idea. (love your signature btw! i always say: laziness is the basis for automation!)

interesting: it has mem limit:

memory_limit => 32M => 32M

but I checked the php.ini file and it has 64M set for mem limit???

check the path to the php.ini in the top section of phpinfo().

I don't suffer from laziness, I enjoy every minute of it.

awesome yeah its a different path! thanks a lot!

ha ha i enjoy it too!! (laziness :-)

yeah turns out there's another php.ini file in the etc/php5/cli folder (command line interface)
which I set the memory much higher now my script works 150% !

thanks alot for the help!
