Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted

Hi,

I'm using TikiWiki and was using its file upload feature, trying to
upload a 2MB file. I get this error:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to
allocate 1677706 bytes) in
/var/html/www/tiki/lib/filegals/filegallib.php on line 30

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to
allocate 40 bytes) in Unknown on line 0

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to
allocate 134 bytes) in Unknown on line 0

My settings are:

PHP Version 4.2.2
Apache/2.0.40 (Red Hat Linux)
memory_limit 8M
post_max_size 8M
upload_max_filesize 5M
upload_tmp_dir no value
(the machine has 512 MB RAM)

No one else is using this server, and that was the only thing I was
trying to do (i.e. upload a 2MB file).

I don't know if I can help - but someone might if you supply some code
around line 30 in your script
/var/html/www/tiki/lib/filegals/filegallib.php on line 30

Perhaps your script is caught in some loop and is eating resources...

I was getting this error recently (yesterday) when attempting to write an
empty string to a file using fwrite. The loop the write was in would
not terminate and the file being written to would keep growing.

As suggested, here's some code snippet:

25 function insert_file($galleryId,$name,$description,$filename, $data,
$size,$type ,$user,$path)
26 {
27 global $fgal_use_db, $fgal_use_dir;
28 $name = addslashes(strip_tags($name));
29 if ($fgal_use_db == 'n') {
30 $checksum = md5(implode('',file($fgal_use_dir.$path)));
31 } else {
32 $checksum = md5($data);
33 }

Line 30 seems harmless enough ... just 2 calls to standard PHP
functions...

Ideas anyone?

on line 30, would:
$checksum = md5_file($fgal_use_dir.$path);
do a better job? And similar for 32:
$checksum = md5_file($data);

Just a thought...

Yes!! Changing the call to use md5_file seemed to do the trick.

Thanks very much!
