ok, then. how "smart" is to do something like this? what's a bad side?

Your memory will runaway and your script could potentially take over the server and slow everything down. Just like any other script could.

Hi,
I'm working on the script that has to read csv file (51 column an a
little
bit over 3000 rows) with products and store the info in DB.
Script works fine while I tested on csv files up to 200 records.
And, when I tried to upload REAL data I got this.
PHP: Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted ...

On google I found as a solution to put
ini_set("memory_limit","12M");
on the top of the script, except allowed memory size wasn't 8m then 12m
bytes.
I tried with 16M and it worked :)

My question is how "far" I can go with increasing? Where is "the limit"?
Why is not 24M as default in php.ini?

Thanks!

if you set the memory_limit to 0, then the script has unlimited memory
to its disposal.

Actually you need to set it to -1.
