 This error message can spring up in a previously functional PHP script when the memory requirements exceed the default 8MB limit.

This will server wide increase memory limit to 12MB.

• nano php.ini
• change "memory_limit" from 8M to 12M
• Restart apache

This will change the memory use for 1 script to 12MB

• To change the memory limit for one specific script by including a line such as this at the top of the script:
  ini_set("memory_limit","12M");

The 12M sets the limit to 12 megabytes (12582912 bytes). If this doesn't work, keep increasing the memory limit until your script fits or your server squeals for mercy.
