PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 41007872 bytes)

Question

I\'m getting this error when I try to call the mail() function.

I tried adding ini_set(\'memory_limit\', \'64m\') to my index.php file - Which include()\'s

Answer 1

The characters you have provided for the replacement may be causing the str_replace function to loop endlessly.It is not a good idea either to be playing around with setting the maximum memory limit for php. Try another string function. Maybe:

$message = preg_replace("\n.", "\n..", $message);

preg_replace is very good with such characters and may not run in many useless loops without knowing what to do.

I hope this helps.

Answer 2

(33 554 432 bytes) + (41 007 872 bytes) = 71.1081543 megabytes

Set your memory_limit to 96M and call it a day!

Answer 3

If setting your memory_limit higher and higher doesn't work, maybe you have an endless-loop somewhere which allocates memory space until the limit is reached.
I'm not sure how save the str_replace() function is, but it might create an endless-loop here:

str_replace("\n.", "\n..", $message);

"\n." is being replaced with "\n.." ==> "\n.." might be replaced with "\n..." ==>.... And you are using more and more memory until you reached the limit

If I look at the SafeString class, I don't see a unsafeRaw() method, but there is a toUnsafeRawString() method. Did you try debugging?

btw Why would you use this class if you're using the raw values anyway? That doesn't make any sense.
