Hello,

I am getting the following error when trying to do a search via the API:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 35 bytes) in /var/www/class.FreesoundWordnet.php on line 220

Is there any way the PHP max memory setting can be increased above 8MB? ... or is there some other way to solve this problem?

Thanks!
R

Hi,

oops, I realized it would've been helpful if I posted an example search that was giving me problems. Here is a sample URL that is generating the error:

http://freesound.iua.upf.edu/searchTextXML.php?searchUsernames=0&searchDescriptions=1&searchTags=1&start=0&searchFilenames=0&search=blackbird%20-dog%20-birdsong%20–car

But anyway, I had a similar problem once before and I fixed it by tweaking my php.ini file.

thanks!
R
