I'm using a php script to open and read a data file using function fgetcsv; this works for data files up to the size of about 6MB but fails with a file of 7.98MB. I realise the default memory_size is 8MB and I'm wanting to open a 22MB text data file on the webserver. I've tried increasing the memory_size using both of the following techniques:<br />
<br />
ini_set(&quot;memory_limit&quot;,&quot;50<wbr />M&quot;); &nbsp;- &nbsp;placed at the top of the script file<br />
<br />
php_value memory_limit &quot;50M&quot; &nbsp;- placed in an .htaccess file<br />
<br />
Both of these methods seem to cause the error message to register the increase, but it still fails. A typical error message:<br />
<br />
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 52428800 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 31 bytes) in /home/account/public_html/<wbr />directory/<wbr />functions.<wbr />php on line 117<br />
<br />
Looking for some specific advice please, not links to other questions unless they have info specific to my problem. Maybe there's a better way to read the csv file, or read it in stages (line by line would take a long time there's 15000 records).<br />

Fatal error: Allowed memory size

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.
