There are three ways to change the memory_limit for your PHP script(s):

1) A quick solution would be to add the following line into your root directory .htaccess file:

php_value memory_limit 32M

2) In your PHP Config file (php.ini) -- Location depends on your Apache/server setup. Search the file for memory_limit and change to your desired value:

memory_limit= 32M

Then restart your apache server.

3) You can also specify the memory limit in your PHP script:

ini_set('memory_limit', '32M');
