someone from my guild who was extensively playing pvp in the last months to reach lvl 14 (and eventually did it) is having problems uploading his pvplog.lua...

the following error appears after some time:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 35 bytes) in [path to roster]/lib/luaparser.php on line 84

any hints? I don't see why a 5MB file should be bloated to a size of 32MB... just by parsing it.

I will deliver the file on request, but will not upload for the public (he is kinda paranoid, comes with too much pvp ^^)

edit: that number looked familiar... it is exactly 32MB, not one bit more. It still ist around 33MB, i just wanted to correct that

The php upload default on most servers is usually 2Megs (defined in php.ini)

Might try changing that setting and see if that helps.

nono, the file is uploaded completely (changed that setting for something else to 20MB long before), the error occurs while parsing the uploaded file...

solved... it was in the php.ini:

Code: Select all

memory_limit = 128M      ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (8MB)

is the line to change... it was 32MB before, it does work with 128MB

Still - please check the code, it just can't be true that 5MB pvplog.lua cannot be parsed with 32MB of script memory available... someone needs to doublecheck the memory usage of the parser lib

It's PHP, anything is possible.

The lua parser has already been optimized as much as possible in version 1.7.0
It used to take two to three times the amount of time as the current version and used up lots more memory

In fact, I believe we have one of the best PHP lua parsers out there (correct me if anyone sees one better, and point me too it )


The reason why it may take more than 32mb for a 5mb lua file is because PHP arrays use more memory than an actual file

My website provider doesn't let me edit the php.ini file itself, is there another way to midify that, so that I can deal with this problem? So far, my PvPLog.lua is just 2MB now, but I can feel it getting bigger very fast.
