memory limit issue in php

[sangaiah]

Hi ,

I am getting the following error.

PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 10240 bytes)

To overcome the above error , i thought of increasing memory heap size by changing the "memory_limit" (128M to 256M) in php.ini file.

Can any one please tell me it will create any causes like memory leak, etc...?

Thanks,
Sangaiah

Yes, you'd use up to twice as much memory before PHP refuses to allocate any more.

Question is: does what you're doing need so much memory?
