I need help decoding an Ioncube file...
I've inserted thousands of listings into an installation of phpMyDirectory and now I get an error on my site saying...
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted in /home/public_html/mysite.com/includes/class_database.php on line 149
All I want to do is increase the maximum memory usage within the file from 32MB to 64MB or more but I can't because the file is encoded...
There are services online where you can pay for this but I don't feel I should have to pay for something that should work, all I want to do is change a couple of numbers in the file but I can't even read it...
If anyone could give me some advice on how I can get this done for free I would greatly appreciate it.
I've tried downloading software for this but it seems impossible, I've spent a couple of hours doing so but can't find anything...
If someone knows how to do this could you please upload the file to MegaUpload (it's really easy) and give me a link to it? I would greatly appreciate it..
Thanks in advance

Response by poster: I don't know if I can, it's on a shared server... can I access this through FTP?

Response by poster: I'll ask them... But I thought the problem was with the class_database.php file, where I can increase the memory from there...

If you can't access the php.ini file directly, you can try setting it directly in your .htaccess file.
For example:
php_value memory_limit 32M
Note that this depends on how your shared host is set up and may not work.

Response by poster: I tried creating my own php.ini file and redirecting .htaccess to it but I get an error saying phpMyDirectory needs Ioncube to run... I there anywhere I can find a php.ini file with Ioncube enabled?

You might be able to put the Ioncube loader in your home directory, add a reference to it in your php.ini, and have it work, but that's going to depend upon a) knowing the OS of your hosting server so that you upload the correct binary extension; b) your host's policies for user-provided extensions.
Have you tried creating a phpinfo file to see what exactly is available on your host?

Your web host is using suPHP, in which php_value is not a valid .htaccess directive. They will probably have some solution involving letting you have a custom php.ini. You just need to ask.

...is 32 megabytes, which is a bit stingy. If they won't let you have a little more, get a different web host.

Yeah, on your server. Info from someone else's php.ini likely won't work. The path to Ioncube and other PHP extensions will vary among web hosts, as will the version. Make a text file, call it info.php, and put it this in it:
<>
Copy it to your web root, then visit yourdomain.com/info.php. Look for "Configuration File (php.ini) Path" and then ssh in to your server. Copy the file over ssh if you have access to it. If you don't have access to it, well, talk to your web host. This is a pretty normal request.
