I have a PHP-script that does not run from a web-server but directly in a shell. When I run it I get the following error: # ./dj.php PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 100663296 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 104 bytes) in /usr/local/scripts/includes/dj.inc on line 79 Allowed memory size of 100663296 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 24 bytes) My scripts starts with: #!/usr/bin/php <?php ini_set('memory_limit', '4192M'); include "dj.inc"; And in php.ini I have: memory_limit = 1G ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume Why does PHP not honor my memory limits? I have set 1GB in php.ini and 4192MB (I know that is more then 1GB) and the scripts fails at 100663296 bytes (~ 96MB). I have also tried with other memory settings but I always end up with with the failure at ~96MB. The host has enough RAM (32GB) to support the script. Any suggestions on how to solve the issue (short of rewriting the script in C or C++)?
