Wow.. Double fail on my part to your comment.

1. Sorry about the massive delay in response.

2. The get_bytes function is another function I wrote that shouldn’t have been included with the example: I would use the following code instead:

//... if (get_ini_max_memory() < 33554432) /...

…and then include this function somewhere in your sourcecode:

function get_ini_max_memory() { $value = trim(ini_get('memory_limit'));


	$suffix = strtolower(substr($value, strlen($value)-1));

	$prefix = substr($value, 0, strlen($value)-1);
	//PHP.ini sometimes stores values as "2g" or "3k".  If the value is stored that

	//way, then convert it here

	if ($suffix == 'k')

		$output = $prefix * 1024;

	elseif ($suffix == 'm')

		$output = $prefix * 1048576;

	elseif ($suffix == 'g')

		$output = $prefix * 1073741824;

	else

		$output = $value;

return $output; }

This is my third semester (over 6 years) teaching a PHP course at Santa Rosa Junior College. Here’s a link the the current class web site, http://www.santarosa.edu/~dpearson/2009fall/cs5513/ . This is first time we’ve offered it as an online class and it is working more like an instructor led correspondence course.

Thanks for the great example.
Where is the get_bytes function coming from though?

Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_bytes()
