Solution for “Fatal error: Maximum function nesting level of '100' reached, aborting!” in PHP

Question

I have made a function that finds all the URLs within an html file and repeats the same process for each html content linked to the discovered URLs. The function is recursiv

Answer 1

Try looking in /etc/php5/conf.d/ to see if there is a file called xdebug.ini

max_nesting_level is 100 by default

If it is not set in that file add:

xdebug.max_nesting_level=300

to the end of the list so it looks like this

xdebug.remote_enable=on
xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
xdebug.remote_host=localhost
xdebug.remote_port=9000
xdebug.profiler_enable=0
xdebug.profiler_enable_trigger=1
xdebug.profiler_output_dir=/home/drupalpro/websites/logs/profiler
xdebug.max_nesting_level=300

you can then use @Andrey's test before and after making this change to see if worked.

php -r 'function foo() { static $x = 1; echo "foo ", $x++, "\n"; foo(); } foo();'
