[Phpgedview-talk] includes/session.php memory usage

[Nathan S. H. <n....@sh...>]

I've run into a memory limit problem with PGV 4.1 stable when uploading
a large GEDCOM file.

*Fatal error*: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to
allocate 2904657 bytes) in
*/home/bo1nsh/public_html/gedview/includes/functions_import.php* on line
*1511*

I've done some investigations and it seems that includes/session.php
uses an awful lot of memory (15Mb in my case). In particular
includes/functions.php accounts for quite a good chuck of this usage
(about 5Mb in my case).

Can anyone clarify why the memory usage overhead is so high? Can this be
reduced?

Also, information here is mssleading:
http://wiki.phpgedview.net/en/index.php/FAQ:_Questions_about_Installing_phpGedView#Insufficient_memory

It suggests that memory limits can be increased by modifying php.ini.
However, this is not the case as the settings in PGV's config.php
overrides this.

Cheers
