I would assume this is unlikely, but sometimes even the unlikely happens more than than it should! The error message actually says "Allowed memory size of 3355432 bytes exhausted" so I know it's using the 32M that it's set to php.ini. But as I wrote above, on the Solaris server where it works, the memory_limit is set to 8M. > Can you maybe strip the code down to a test case which causes the error? I've already done that - all it does it run a query and display the results. > Lastly, I do notice that you've got two different versions of PHP & Apache installed on each OS, which could be the reason for the failure. Well, yes, that's what I said. And they may been built with different config options. But what options could cause a difference like this? > Maybe set up a VM or two to test things out. Have one VM with Solaris and Apache/2.2.3-11 & PHP/5.2.8, and another VM with Apache/2.0.53 & PHP/5.0.4 and see what happens.

This is at a client site - they want to get rid of their existing older Solaris apache server and move to a newer Linux one. The servers are already set up they way they are. I asked the admis for info on the build - they have it for the newer Linux one, but not for the older Solaris one. They did give me another machine to test on - that one is Linux, Apache 2.2.3, PHP 5.2.6 - that also gets the out of memory error. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
