I just started receiving this error, and was a little perplexed to say the least. It started after adding a few hundred images to my Gallery.

I did a little searching and found a solution, and I was wondering if the PHP and MySQL gurus here on Codezwiz would give me their two cents on how "safe" it is to use this.

The fix is simple, just add the following to the .htaccess file:

php_value memory_limit 16M


The problem went away, and all of a sudden my page loads dropped to almost nothing. My site sped up quite a lot.

Now here are the questions.

1. I have several sites running off of a single dedicated server. With this effect any other site? The normal memory value for php is 8M, so I have doubled it.

2. Any security issues with this in the .htaccess file?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Nope that shouldnt affect anything. 8m is just the "factory standard".
