Now that I have the other problem fixed I want to revisit the issue of large file handling -
This is the code (placed within an array loop) - ---------------------------------- // Determine MIME type: $mt=MIME_Type::autoDetect("$filename"); // If suitable MIME type open, read and process: if (substr($mt,0,4) == "text") { // read the file: $content = file_get_contents($filename,FILE_TEXT); // extract the information: preg_match_all($pattern,$content,$matches); // add it to our array: foreach($matches[0] as $m) $results[] = $m; // unset the temporary array: unset($matches); // count valid file(s) scanned: $pv = $pv + 1; }; // end the MIME type statement ------------------------------------ What is happening is that when I try and read a 1.9Gb text file, it fails, with the following error message: Scanning files: Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 805306368 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 2023554020 bytes) in /www/scan.php on line 124 Now the fix is probably pretty straight forward - does anyone have any idea please?
