ini_set( 'memory_limit', '512M') - Syntax error - unexpected "M"?

I have some code in Wordpress that retrieves all Woocommerce product SKUs and is memory consuming (6000+ products)

So, at the start of my function I tried to increase the limit temporarily:

ini_set('memory_limit', '512M');

The result:

PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected 'M' (T_STRING), expecting ',' or ')'

I'm looking for an answer why this is wrong and I could not find it. Any ideas why this is happening?

Solution

  • PHP ini_set() as follow.

    ini_set("memory_limit","512M");

    OR

    You can also try to change the memory_limit using either a php.ini or .htaccess file.

    php.ini

    memory_limit = 512M;

    .htaccess

    php_value memory_limit 512M

    You can add this code in wp-config.php

    define( 'WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '512M' );
