Windows and Memory Limit of -1

php.internals

Hi. Are there any special concerns for setting memory_limit to -1 in PHP.INI on Windows (using Sambar Server, not IIS/Apache). I'm getting "Out of memory" errors recently. Memory is good. Admittedly the code is trying to add a 12MG file as an attachment (using htmlmimemail5 from phpguru.org). 5MG attachments are OK, but the 12MG isn't. The server is internal so the limit is not required. Confused.

Is this a production server which might literally be running out of RAM?... If so, not much can be done to fix that... :-v Does the error actually say "out of memory" or "memory limit reached"? I *think* you get different error if you are triggering the memory_limit than, say, really running out of RAM. Also double-check phpinfo() to be sure your memory_limit setting is what you think it is.

It's an intranet server. I rebooted and it is working. It IS saying "out of memory" [13-Jun-2007 11:38:51] PHP Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 1572864) (tried to allocate 12729537 bytes) in C:\PHP\PHP5\Includes\htmlMimeMail5\htmlMimeMail5.php on line 940 [13-Jun-2007 11:40:02] PHP Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 1572864) (tried to allocate 12728784 bytes) in C:\PHP\PHP5\Includes\htmlMimeMail5\htmlMimeMail5.php on line 940 [13-Jun-2007 11:42:04] PHP Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 1572864) (tried to allocate 12735907 bytes) in C:\PHP\PHP5\Includes\htmlMimeMail5\htmlMimeMail5.php on line 940 and phpinfo() does show -1 for memory limit. I must admit it hadn't been rebooted for nearly 2 months. Wait and see time I think. On 13/06/07, Richard Lynch <ceo@l-i-e.com> wrote:
