asked on

can not set php memory limit in .htaccess and ini_set()

Dear Experts,

I am using curl in php to grab one remote webpage site that is more than 36Meg byte
And I get the fatal error message which is "Out of memory(allocated 3407872( tried to
allocate 3147593 byte) in .../data/include/curl.php on line42" line42 is my $htm=curl_exec($url);
I have checked my php system 's max memory limit is 128M byte by php's phpinfo(). Why I will have such error ?

I go to google it about this at http://drupal.org/node/29268 
and I changed my .htaccess file with  php_value memory_limit   120M, I talked to my hosting domain support, they just replied it is right there is memory limit=128M byte.
So anyone have suggestion to solve the fatal error issue ?
I also use this in php at the top , ini_set("memory_limit", "120M");, but it still fail
I also use phpinfo() and host support confirm it is 128Meg in my php system.
Any variable use related to curl_exec() is just 2 so it should be less than 120Meg usage in my php ($htm,  $file_url)
And attached my .htaccess file and my php sytem configuration.
Is it one variable such as $file_url  can not store more than 32Meg byte ?


Please advise & Thanks
Duncan

I thought that direction before and suppose what you said is correct
but finally I still need to open the saved file for data operation in memory so that
sitll have out of memory issue once I open it by fopen or file() in php.

Or Fopen and File won't open and put whole file data into memory ?

Please advise

Finally, I give up to
use memory instead of file
and it works fine in term speed
just a little bit slow
