[PHP-DEV] PHP 4.0 Bug #7836: memory_limit ignored From: mail-php <email protected>
Date: 11/15/00

From: mail-php <email protected>
Operating system: Linux 2.2.15-4mdk
PHP version: 4.0.3pl1
PHP Bug Type: PHP options/info functions
Bug description: memory_limit ignored

The resource limits section of php.ini is being ignored.

The ini file reads:

memory_limit = 6M

In a script it is possible to allocate well past this. I
succeeded in allocating over 100MB.

Sample:

$str = '';
$total = 0;

for ( $i = 0 ; $i < 65000 ; $i++ )
  $str .= 'a';

for ( $i = 0 ; $i < 1024 ; $i++ ) {
  printf(' %d (%d)', $i, $total);
  $strbuff[$i] = "$i - $str";
  flush();
  $total += strlen($strbuff[$i]);
}

# This allocates ~ 64MB
