PHP Fatal error

[watson100]

Hello,

I am creating a login script and on the login form page i receive this error -

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 24576 bytes) in C:\xampp\htdocs\new1\Social\index.php on line 64

And here are lines 54 - 79

	<table border="0">
	<form action="<?php $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>" method="post">
	<?php
	if (isset($message_1))
	{
		"<p>$message_1</p>";
	}
	foreach($field_1 as $field => $value)
	{
		if(preg_match("/pass/i",$field))

$type = "password";
else
$type = "text";
echo "
<tr><td><label>$value</label>
</td><td><input type='$type' id='$field' name='$field' vale='".@$$field."' style='height:25px; width:250px; color:#999999;' />
</td></tr>
";
}
?>

	<tr><td align="right"><input type="submit" id="login" name="login" value="Login.." /></td></tr>
	</form>
	</table>

<?php } ?>

Line 64 is in red, could someone help me, any help would be appreciated.

As the error message states, your PHP script has used up the maximum amount of memory allowed - 128MB.

One possible solution is to increase the memory limit (if allowed)... however, if your script is using up 128M, I would first look at optimizing it to reduce its memory footprint as that is a lot of memory to be using (if this one script uses 128M, 10 users requesting the same page would require over 1GB of memory!).

So what do you think is causing it to use so much memory ? or dont you know?

[bradgrafelman]

I just wrote a script, and it uses 50M between lines 25-50. Here is line 51:

echo $foo;

Now, can you explain to me what lines 25-50 are doing and why they use 50M of memory based on the information I've given you? 😉

In other words, no, none of us knows anything about code which you haven't shown us.

Ah ok well thanks for your help 🙂
