How do I increase PHP's memory size

[rob]

If you get a PHP error message of

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 22602 bytes) in /path/to/on/of/my/pages.php on line x "

You will need to assign more memory to PHP.

To do this you have a couple of methods:

Via your php.ini file
===================================This method will affect your php memory size setting for your whole server.

In your php.ini file search for

memory_limit =

and replace the whole of the line with

memory_limit = 64M

You can find the path to your php.ini file from within Joomla's adminstration:

Select "system->system info" from the top menu
Select the "PHP Info" tab
Your php.ini file location is found under the entry "Configuration File (php.ini) Path"

Via your .htaccess file
===================================
Edit your .htaccess file, which is located in your website's root folder, and add the following line:

php_value memory_limit 64M

This method will only affect the php memory setting for your website's root folder.
