Trouble finding where memory_limit is set

[joostvanhoof]

Thanks for making this great app. Continuing my long standing horrible relationship with the php.ini file...

PHPMON indicates the Memory limit is 512MB.

If I use PHPMON -> Locate PHP Configuration File (php.ini) it opens /opt/homebrew/etc/php/8.1/php.ini. In that file, there's memory_limit=128.

If I run php -r "phpinfo();" | grep php.ini in my terminal, I also get Loaded configuration file: /opt/homebrew/etc/php/8.1/php.ini.

In the same folder there's also a php.ini-production file that also has memory_limit=128.

Any more info you need let me know!

So I'm still puzzled where the 512 comes from, and how I can increase it.

Hi @joostvanhoof,

The default Homebrew install of PHP 8.1 (and other PHP versions as well) ship with the memory limits file at: /opt/homebrew/etc/php/8.1/conf.d/php-memory-limits.ini.

In general, you can find out what .ini files are being used by running:

php --ini

which will output:

➜  ~ php --ini
Configuration File (php.ini) Path: /opt/homebrew/etc/php/8.2
Loaded Configuration File:         /opt/homebrew/etc/php/8.2/php.ini
Scan for additional .ini files in: /opt/homebrew/etc/php/8.2/conf.d
Additional .ini files parsed:      /opt/homebrew/etc/php/8.2/conf.d/error_log.ini,
/opt/homebrew/etc/php/8.2/conf.d/ext-opcache.ini,
/opt/homebrew/etc/php/8.2/conf.d/php-memory-limits.ini,

You should be able to adjust the memory limit and PHP Monitor should immediately reflect the new limits. The last .ini file loaded will take precedence I believe, which is why you weren't seeing your memory limit changes apply.

Hope that helps!

This solved it, thanks!
