PHP Memory Limit Issue

[nicksab]

Hello everyone,

I am currently getting a PHP memory Limit error as follow white using Google Merchant
Product Feeder:

[26-Dec-2023 16:07:55 America/Los_Angeles] PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 20480 bytes) in /includes/classes/bmz_image_handler.class.php on line 959

I increased the php memory limit on my server to 512M but it didn't solve my issue.

How can i solve this please?

thank you

Need to know zencart version, php version, and google feed version.

Pretty sure you need to upgrade from the old google frugal feeder to the google product search feed II.

Need to know zencart version, php version, and google feed version.

Zc Version is 1.5.7d
PHP version 7.3.33
Google Merchant Center Feeder 1.15

My last generated feed is dated11/18/2023.

Not sure what happened since then.

I bumped my PHP memory limit from 256 to 512 hoping it would fix it but no luck.

while perhaps not a bad idea, this is not necessarily true.

you are probably stuck in some sort of loop due to a data problem. or poor coding...

raising the memory limit is always a tempting idea; but i have found it rarely helps until you find the source of the problem.

i think there is a debug option on the old google feeder.

but looking at the error, i would ask what version of the image handler are you using? it seems the most current version is 5.3.4. which should run under zc 157d and php 7.3.

i would start with that update:

https://github.com/lat9/zen_Image-Handler/tree/v5.3.4

with image handler, later versions are better. the maintainer does a good job with that one.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

My IH version is 5.3.3 so not too old but i will look into updating.

As you suggested, i went to turn on the debug mode in the Feeder settings and took a look at all the settings.

Here it was right in face. :-) The feeder setting has an memory limit override that was set at 256.

Set it to blank to disable and "bam" : feed was generated without issues.

Thanks everyone for helping.
