file size limit on file function?

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Sep 14.2005

Hey…

I am using the file() function to read a csv file into an array. Its working perfectly but the problem comes in when the csv file increases in size. Anything over 1,5 Mb crashes?

Is there a setting in Php which i can change to allow larger csv files?

Have allocated up to 100Mb virtual memory on my server so that doesnt seem to be the problem ? .

anyway…any ideas would be appreciated…thanks!

@NogDogSep 14.2005 — I am not aware of any logical limit imposed by PHP. Could the script, as a result of processing the larger file, be exceeding max_execution_time? If so, you could try increasing it with [url=http://www.php.net/ini_set]ini_set()[/url] (default is 30 seconds).

@SpectreReturnsSep 15.2005 — php.ini includes an option for max file size.

@Kag_sauthorSep 15.2005 — Awesome thanks guys...

I used ini_set(max_execution_time, 500); and ini_alter(memory_limit, -1); and everything seems to be working fine.

Shot for the help!
