Virtual memory is not a magic bullet that lets you have as much memory as you want: There's still a physical limit to how much RAM (real and virtual) you have. It is a little odd to run out on line 2, but I guess it depends on what gets included in line 1, and what's in xxxx.inc.php3 Look for near-infinite loops, or nested includes() that include each other recursively, or... If your include() structure is complex, and can't be simplified, do like this in the include file: file: xxxx.inc.php3 <?php if (!defined("xxxx_inc_php3")){ define("xxxx_inc_php3", 1); include "whatever.inc.php3"; //rest of code here. } ?> This guarantees that multiple includes of this file won't do it twice. -- Richard Lynch | If this was worth $$$ to you, buy a CD US Customer Support Director | from one of the artists listed here: Zend Technologies USA | http://www.L-I-E.com/artists.htm http://www.zend.com | (this has nothing to do with Zend, duh!)
