How to Fix PHP's Most Annoying Error

Re:How to Fix PHP's Most Annoying Error by laumars on Tuesday September 16, 2014 @12:59PM (#8325488)

Being massively pedantic for a moment; he didn't set the memory limit to 1GB but instead to 0.9765625GB:

    <?php
        ini_set('memory_limit', '1000M'); // or you could use 1G
    ?>

Joking aside, do most people these days just use MB (1000^n) instead of MiB (1024^n) when working with RAM? Is this now the standard way to calculating memory?

Good call. Minor oversight. Just updated that. I think if your NOT a hardcore technologist you probably think of megabytes as as 1000^n. It's really easy to forget too for the rest of us.

Über-pedantry: It's "you're" and not "your".

Unfortunately, HN doesn't have an edit function for comments. ;)

It does, but only for comments that haven't been replied to

Hehe. Based on the previous pendantry, it blended in. I'll take it as help then. :D

The previous pedantry wasn't me though; only the MiB / MB comment. And that was partly out of curiosity if 1000MB == 1GB was a deliberate rounding.
