Resolving Memory Limit Exceeded

This error message means that your PHP script is trying to use more memory than what is allowed by your PHP configuration. This can be caused by several things, such as a large dataset that your script is trying to process or a bug that is causing your script to use an excessive amount of memory.

1. Increase the memory_limit setting in your PHP configuration file. This setting controls the maximum amount of memory that a script is allowed to use. You can increase this value to allow your script to use more memory.

2. Optimize your script to use less memory. This might involve using more efficient algorithms or breaking up large datasets into smaller chunks to process them in stages.

3. Check for any memory leaks in your script. A memory leak is a bug that causes a script to hold on to memory unnecessarily, leading to increased memory usage over time.

If you're unsure what is causing the high memory usage in your script, you can try using a tool like Xdebug to profile your code and identify any areas that might be causing the problem.
