Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted. What does it mean?

I have got this error. What does it mean? Is it anything to do with my mysql settings?

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 16 bytes) in C:\AppServ\www\down\a.php

Thanks

 

ok. sorted. it was to do with memory_limit on php.

Thanks

 

Did increase max memory limit help?

 

No it did not work. I increased to 10mb first, then 20mb then 100mb. It did not worked. I realised that there was a problem on database.

I used bigdump to dump the database. I realised that bigdump did not support my charset settings. But suprisingly it did not give any error message.

I dumped it manually then it worked.

 

I'm having the same kind of problems after using bigdump, hope your solution works for me too.

 

This is great Im also having this problem hoping it will also work on my end. Thank you.

 

you should also set MySQL Packet Size .....
