PHP error on server - php

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 11514967 bytes) in /hermes/bosweb25b/b350/ipg.eraytavcom/labc/index.php on line 55
I cant understand what this error mean? can u help me please?

This means that your PHP script has used up all of the memory that was allocated to it.
You should consider increasing the value of the memory_limit directive in your php.ini file.
Here is an extract from the documentation:
memory_limit
This sets the maximum amount of memory in bytes that a script is allowed to allocate. This helps prevent poorly written
scripts for eating up all available memory on a server. Note that to
have no memory limit, set this directive to -1.
Together with that, if your script is not supposed to use up so much memory you might have a bug in your logic that causes your script to run for too long or use up too much resources. Increasing the memory_limit will probably suppress that error you're getting, but it will not fix the reason you're seeing that error in the first place. Consider doing some code review on your script to find out why it's eating up resources.

PHP Memory Limit - using less memory than the limit, but still error occurs

I have a strange memory limit issue in PHP. I have to read a lot of data into an array using a particular script, and I keep running out of memory.
My memory is now at 2048M in the php.ini file, and phpinfo() indicates it as such, yet, I keep getting this error:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 536870912 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 142610432 bytes) in ... on line 173
Now - those two total about 680MB. This is far below the limit I set it to. Why would this error still occur?
Try using ini_set
Sets the value of the given configuration option. The configuration
option will keep this new value during the script's execution, and
will be restored at the script's ending.
ini_set("memory_limit" , "2048M");
In most cases ini_set rewrites all other PHP configurations

What exactly is the php.ini memory_limit?

I often saw the php.ini memory_limit but I haven't found the answer to my question.
What EXACTLY is the memory_limit in php.ini?
Please post an detailed example.
Thanks :)
PHP’s memory_limit setting is not a storage space where multiple PHP scripts pool form or grow. The 'memory_limit' directive sets the maximum amount of memory that a PHP script can use. Note that this is dynamically allocated, and not reserved memory. If a script exceeds this value, PHP will report a fatal error.
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of x bytes exhausted (tried to allocate x bytes)
The error means that the allowed memory limit of x bytes configured on your server(memory_limit=xM) was reached while the PHP script tried to allocate y bytes.
It's the limit of the memory of the php script. It avoids than bad code fill the server memory, crashing it.

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted

I've got a script that's giving me headaches on a particular server.
I keep getting this error:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted
Even though I've edited php.ini to this:
max_execution_time = 300 ; Maximum execution time of each script, in seconds
max_input_time = 600 ; Maximum amount of time each script may spend parsing request data
memory_limit = 96M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (16MB)
Where would the 67108864 bytes limit be coming from?
First, as far as I know, it has to be 96M (without the B)
Second, make sure you are editing the correct php.ini, and you are restarting the web server after the change (needed if PHP is loaded as an apache module for example).
And third, increasing the memory limit may resolve the problem, but it's best to check why 64M are not enough :)
Did you restart apache? Sometimes it's necessary.
I faced a similar issue. It might be because you're storing something very huge in some variable or selecting a lot of data from your mySQL table. You need to provide more information about your script because 64M is really sufficient to execute most of the processing.
By reading the comments, it's obvious you're on a shared hosting account.
Those usually don't let you edit your own php.ini, nor allow arbitrary limits to your pleasing. This would quickly take down the shared hosting server.

Fatal error on memory size (over 64mb?)

I'm getting this error:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 3456 bytes) in /home/gigiphot/public_html/Includes/thumbnail.inc.php on line 158
and this PHP memory limit is set to 64mb .. do I increase it? Not sure of next step...
You can set memory_limit in your php.ini file, see here: http://php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php
However, you may want to investigate if you really need such a heavy memory consumption... if this service will be used by multiple users concurrently, you may have problems... An unintended high memory consumption is often a symptom of something going wrong in your script.
Try adding ini_set('memory_limit', '128M'); to the top of the file.
You can set it to -1 to ignore the limit, but it's not generally recommended.

Meaning of "Fatal error: Allowed memory size of x bytes exhausted (tried to allocate y bytes)"?

(This is a very frequent error, but couldn't find the meaning.)
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of x bytes exhausted (tried to allocate y bytes)
I have some questions:
This is obviously an out-of-memory error, but what does it means in Layman's terms?
Is it possible to know some information (like server's RAM) from x?
What about y? Sometimes it is a two-digits number.
Thanks.
It means that the memory used by the PHP script exceeded the value of the memory_limit configuration option. Note this may or may not agree with what the operating system thinks the memory usage of the script is at the time of the error.
x gives you the value of the memory_limit configuration option. You can also assume that the server has at least enough virtual memory to handle the limit, but that's about it.
No, y is just the size of the straw that finally broke the camel's back.
x = ini_get('memory_limit');
y = the php request that exceed that limit
The ram here isn't a problem, make a better php script or just rise memory_limit with ini_set
Anyway your question is a dup and a simple google search would solved it
This error is triggered because the PHP interpreter has a memory size limit for the scripts it runs. The "x" part is that limit, "y" is the allocation that caused the script to trigger the error. To override this, you can use either something like:
php_value memory_limit xxxM
in your server configuration or
memory_limit = xxxM
in the PHP configuration or
ini_set('memory_limit', 'xxxM');
in the script itself.
