I use PHP as a server side programming language. I use it in combination with the Apache web server and I have run across permissions problems concerning the running Apache program's process and the PHP files. I use PHP to manipulate the MySQL database. And I use a PDO interface to help avoid SQL injection vulnerabilities. This requires that PHP is installed and configured to use the PDO driver. PHP has a configuration file called "php.ini" and this is where you can setup "include_path". Within a PHP file you often include other PHP files and the include_path can be configured as a common reference directory. There are different approaches to including PHP resources in other files. And I am discovering that many people use a software program called "composer" which I plan to learn more about. Note that changes to the php.ini file will not be in operation until you restart your web server (I use Apache).

PHP Q & A
The default memory size in my PHP configuration file was 32M. After implementing the google-api-php-client I began to bump up against this limit. I did some research and noticed people mentioning "ini_set()" statement. I tried to set the memory with this and it did not work. I then did a search for the key word "memory" within the php.ini file and found a statement called "memory_limit = ". I updated this from 32M to 128M and now my memory intensive scripts seem to working well. I am monitoring the script with the "top" process and I do not see the process eating up memory over time... so apparently there are no memory leaks. Perhaps the "ini_set()" was conflicting with the "memory_limit" statement.
ReplyDeleteJust remember to test and analyze!
I can't believe blogger won't let me edit my comment... it will be nice to integrate with their API.
