php.ini is a PHP settings file.

You can have your own php.ini file. Just place the setting that you want in Notepad (in this case the setting for memory), save it as an ini file, then upload to the directory that you need it in.

And if I'm not wrong you can set the allowed memory in .htaccess.

More information at the Knowledge Base.

Thanks. I solved that problem by other way.

Still have no idea how to do with php.ini or .htaccess, thank you very much anyway.

Rather than just upping the memory limit blindly when you run out of memory, you should investigate Why it happened? Is it repeatable? Is it a load problem, or application code? Are you sure they code is solving the problem correctly? I've seen so many stupid things done by other people at work that it no longer surprises me to do silly things like filtering and sorting outside of the database. They just return everything and do the processing in the application code and wonder why it blows up when they hit a ceiling in the size of the result set.

PHP.ini is usually stored in the PHP install directory hierarchy. Mine is in /usr/local/php5/lib/php.ini.

Just use something like locate to find it

exsanguination, I doubt he has shell access. What is referred to by Jacky is a local php.ini that overrides the global php.ini.

kenoodo, first you would create the php.ini file in your web root, i.e. public_html/ and then add the following line in the file, e.g. for an 32MB memory limit:
