What's the maximum number of keys for an array in php

Question

I\'m writing a php script where I call

$lines = file(\'base_list.txt\');

to break a file up into an array. The file has over 100,000 lines in

Answer 1

I'm gonna agree with Cory. I'm thinking your PHP is probably configured default memory of 8MB, which 4MB x 2 is already more. The reason for the x2 is because you have to load the file, then to create the array you need to have the file in memory again. I'm just guessing, but that would make sense.

Are you sure PHP isn't logging an error?
