需要帮助更改允许在附件表单上传的文件大小

Question

When I try to attach a file to my upload form, it gives me this error:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 26990378 bytes)in /home/content/j/o/h/johnmunro/html/upload/include/class.phpmailer.php on line 1238

and here is the line of code on 1238 that is apparently causing this issue. can someone help me.

 /**
* Encodes string to requested format. Returns an
* empty string on failure.
* @access private
* @return string
*/
function EncodeString ($str, $encoding = 'base64') {
$encoded = '';
switch(strtolower($encoding)) {
  case 'base64':
    /* chunk_split is found in PHP >= 3.0.6 */
    $encoded = chunk_split(base64_encode($str), 76, $this->LE);
    break;
  case '7bit':
  case '8bit':
    $encoded = $this->FixEOL($str);
    if (substr($encoded, -(strlen($this->LE))) != $this->LE)
      $encoded .= $this->LE;
    break;
  case 'binary':
    $encoded = $str;
    break;
  case 'quoted-printable':
    $encoded = $this->EncodeQP($str);
    break;
  default:
    $this->SetError($this->Lang('encoding') . $encoding);
    break;
}
return $encoded;

}

The error means that php requires more memory to run.

To increase allocated memory size to php you have to call : ini_set('memory_limit', '256M'); at the starting of your script(preferably). Replace 256 with the amount of memory you need.

UPDATE

You should also work on memory optimization techniques so that php does not require vast amounts of memory to execute.
