How to Increase php Memory Limit using htaccess

When installing any CMS, eCommerce, chat, forum, gallery, blog software there is a need for few scripts with higher memory limit. On the server memory limit is set to 8 to 12 MB & is never recommended to be on the higher side.

You can raise the memory limit for your hosting account itself through the.htaccess file, located in the public_html OR httpdocs directory, if any of your scripts under that account need more memory.

Add the following code to a.htaccess file that is created in the root directory. In the unlikely event that you need to raise it to 32MB. Check the Apache configuration file to see if your web server permits “AllowOverride On.”

php_value memory_limit 32M

Once done, to test the memory limit for your account, create a phpinfo page. Browse the URL yourdomain.com/phpinfo.php. See, it it has been increased according to the one you have set.

<?php phpinfo(); ?>
