Allowed memory size

Posted: Tue Jun 26, 2007 6:22 am

My server has hummed along now for a LONG time. The other day my latest photo button stopped working. I looked in to it and found this error beig generated....

Code:

PHP Fatal error:  Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 184320 bytes) in /home/httpd/vhosts/xxxxxxxxxxxxx.com/httpdocs/includes/dynamic_titles.php on line 207, referer: http://www.xxxxxxxxxxxxx.com/

So I go to Dynamic_titles and this is line 207 function...

Code:

// Stories Archive 


if($name=="Stories_Archive"){ 


global $sa,$year,$month_l; 


$name=ereg_replace("_", " ", "$name"); 


$newpagetitle = "$item_delim $name"; 


    if($sa=="show_month") { 


        $newpagetitle = "My Site - $month_l, $year"; 


    } 


}

This does not make any sence....what does story archive have to do with my gallery lastest photo....here is the gallery code from the same script....

Code:

// gallery 


if($name=="gallery"){ 


$newname = "XXXXXXXXXXXXX";  //or whatever if you want to change the name 


global $gallery; 


   if ($gallery->session->albumName != "") { 


   $albumname = $gallery->album->fields["title"]; 


   $newpagetitle = "$newname $item_delim $albumname"; 


   } 


   else { 


   $newpagetitle = "$newname - Offshore Fishing Photos"; 


   } 


}

Anyone see anything I am doing wrong here?

I went into the php.ini file and increased the memory size for the moment but that is not the way to do i. I would rather fix the problem.

Thank you for your help!!

That is the problem afaict. You simply don't have enough memory allocated. Unless something else turns up I would just disregard the line 207 message for now. If a script is running out of memory then it could easily throw the parser off.

I bumped it to 64 megs and that solved it and got the Recent Photos button back to functioning again. I am concerned that this is a symptom of some other problem though. A memory leak somewhere or dynamic titles have to do too much work on each pass.

BTW....I hit a little landmark yesterday....400 users at one time. WOOT WOOT!

Dawg, dynamic titles isn't doing anything wild and crazy (i.e., out of the PHP-Nuke realm). Just a few added queries and a bit of string manipulation. I really seriously doubt that it really has anything to do with this issue.
