good day everyone ^_^
please help me with my problem,.
i am reading/parsing large text files,.
i read on the internet that the default memory limit of php is 16M
but why is it my program doesn't read my 8MB text file?,.
only those text files whose lower than 8MB are readable,.
can you enlighten me please?
thx in advance
more power to dynamic drive and to y'all

What is your program? Browsers tend to read text files as text.
Are you getting it as POST data? POST has a default max size of 8mB.

sir,. my program is a php program that reads text file and parse it then creates a new text file for the result,.
my problem is, it can read and parse text files below 8mb but it can't read and parse 8mb above,.
@bluewalrus

thx for your replies guys,.
thx for trying to help me,.
More power to you,.
GOD Bless always,.

POST data has no max size set by the browsers so I'd recommend using post and just upping your max post size. Do you have access to your server or the php.ini file? If so find the max post size and up it. PHP.net says "memory_limit should be larger than post_max_size" so you may want to up that as well depending on what you make your max size.
sir, can you teach me how to set it through php script?,.
like the @ini_set("memory_limit", "100M")?
im using linux/unix os sir,.
thx for replying,.
God Bless,.
Assuming you have permission on the server this should do it.
I never used this method I set it in the php.ini (the config file).PHP Code:@ini_set('post_max_size', '32M');
thx sir,. i'll try this one,. and i'll post if it's still aint working,.
im using linux and the ini file is in read only mode,.
how can i edit it on its php.ini sir?,.
thank you very much,. and so sorry for my being dumb,.

If it it's read only it's not going to be writeable. If you have access and permissions on the server open the file and modify it. If you don't contact your host or admin and have them make the change.
what's the exact address of it from the php folder sir?
EDIT:
sir it is still ain't working,.
the:PHP Code:@ini_set('post_max_size', '32M');
