Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 43148176 bytes) in php

At last I found the answer:

Just add this line before the line where you get error in your php file

ini_set('memory_limit', '-1');

It will take unlimited memory usage of server, it's working fine.

Consider '44M' instead of '-1' for safe memory usage.


Here are two simple methods to increase the limit on shared hosting:

  1. If you have access to your PHP.ini file, change the line in PHP.ini If your line shows 32M try 64M: memory_limit = 64M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (64MB)

  2. If you don't have access to PHP.ini try adding this to an .htaccess file: php_value memory_limit 64M


Your script is using too much memory. This can often happen in PHP if you have a loop that has run out of control and you are creating objects or adding to arrays on each pass of the loop.

Check for infinite loops.

If that isn't the problem, try and help out PHP by destroying objects that you are finished with by setting them to null. eg. $OldVar = null;

Check the code where the error actually happens as well. Would you expect that line to be allocating a massive amount of memory? If not, try and figure out what has gone wrong...
