phpmailer

[visitor]

Hi Guys

 

I have now phpmailer installed. Unfortunately I'm getting this error msg “Fatal Error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 30720 bytes)…”

 

my provider tells me that php memory limit is 32 MB! I want to get the data by smtp instead of mail(). Could this play a role as well?

 

Have you got an idea how this problem can be solved?

 

Thanks

Hi

 

thanks a lot for your feedback and help...

[roopurt18]

All this means is your script is trying to use more memory than PHP is configured to allow for.  Technically it has nothing to do with PHPMailer.

 

You may want to tell us more about what you're doing and exactly at which point in your script you're running out of memory.

 

Or you can convince your provider to bump up your memory usage or try to do so yourself:

how much memory does phpmailer usually consume? Someone told me it's no more than 1 MB and someone else told me that's impossible, it usually consumes not less than 6 MB... which one's true?

 

What are your experiences?

[roopurt18]

I've never benchmarked it so I couldn't say.  Are you trying to perform file attachments?  Is the message body very large?  Are you able to identify which area of your code is actually causing the out of memory error?

[PFMaBiSmAd]

Your code is either doing something intended that consumes a lot of memory and you need to increase the amount of available memory (or optimize the code to release existing memory) or you have a logic error in it that is causing it to uncontrollably consume all available memory and increasing the amount of memory will just cause the error to occur at the larger value. In either case, if you cannot find the cause of the problem yourself, you will need to post the code and the complete error message (because it indicates what the code was doing at the time it needed more memory) if you want someone else to help find the cause of the problem.

 

You are expecting a specific error in a specific script (phpmailer in this case) to have exactly one cause. Due to its' general purpose nature, programming does not work like that. Any symptom or error message can have a dozen different possible causes and any logic error in a program can generate different symptoms depending on the environment or at what point in the code it is present. How your complete script is using the phpmailer class and what the code is doing at the point the error is generated is specific to solving the problem. If you aren't, can't, or won't post both pieces of information (the code and the full error message) no one here can specifically help you with the problem.

Hi Guys

 

this is the error message...

maybe you see what's causing this error

 

thanks, visitor

[roopurt18]

I don't have it handy, can you paste the source code of file: class.phpmailer.php as well?

[roopurt18]

And what is this?

 

include ("./mailtext.inc.php");

[visitor]

Hi

 

I can't send you the class.phpmailer.php... it's too big!

[PFMaBiSmAd]

Edit: Alternatively, what version of phpmailer are you using?

 

I don't directly see anything that would account for an unusually high memory usage. That leaves the things you are loading into memory (and possibly things that the host is autoloading in to memory before your script - are you on a free host that loads a bunch of his content along with your page?)

 

Is the posted code used by itself or is it included into some other file?

 

What does the following line of code show when it is put at the start of your script -

 

echo memory_get_usage();

 

What is in your various include files? Post them xxxxxx'ing out any sensitive information but don't change the basic content the file. How big are PHPMAILER_TO, $html, and $txt?

Hi

 

it shows...

(mod) Use code tags for large code blocks.

Hi

 

does anyone have a phpmailer script ready without getting error messages like...

 

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 30720 bytes) in /home/web1234/public_html/phpmailer/class.phpmailer.php on line 785
