ID: 7836 Updated by: hholzgra Reported By: mail-php@kimihia.org.nz Status: Feedback Bug Type: PHP options/info functions Assigned To: Comments: how does your configure line look like? have you used '--enable-memory-limit' ? it is _not_ enabled by default! Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-11-15 22:11:20] mail-php@kimihia.org.nz The resource limits section of php.ini is being ignored. The ini file reads: memory_limit = 6M In a script it is possible to allocate well past this. I succeeded in allocating over 100MB. Sample: $str = ''; $total = 0; for ( $i = 0 ; $i < 65000 ; $i++ ) $str .= 'a'; for ( $i = 0 ; $i < 1024 ; $i++ ) { printf(' %d (%d)', $i, $total); $strbuff[$i] = "$i - $str"; flush(); $total += strlen($strbuff[$i]); } # This allocates ~ 64MB --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Full Bug description available at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=7836
