#40023 [Opn->Bgs]: memory_limit configuration seems to be ignored

ID: 40023 Updated by: tony2001@php.net Reported By: szoftos at freemail dot hu -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: PHP options/info functions Operating System: Linux 2.4.33 PHP Version: 5.2.0 New Comment: In PHP <= 5.2.0 you need to add --enable-memory-limit to the configure line first. In later versions memory limit will be always enabled.
