Array Size Limit in PHP

Array size limit in PHP

You could be running out of memory, as your array size is (in theory) only limited by the amount of memory allocated to the script.
Put ini_set('memory_limit', '1024M'); in the beginning of your script to set the memory limit to 1 GB. You may need to increase this even higher for best results.

Limit array to 5 items

First of all i think, you need to obtain array length , then if length > or equal to 5, remove first element , and add element to the end of array.

if (!in_array($articleid, $lastviewedarticles)){
    $count = count($lastviewedarticles);
    if($count>=5)
        array_shift($lastviewedarticles);
    $lastviewedarticles[] = $articleid;
}

Post array limit?

PHP introduced the max_input_vars config option, which is defaulted to a value of 1000. Check out the Runtime Configuration section of the PHP manual.

The value can be changed by updating the server's php.ini, adding an .htaccess file, or adding a line to httpd.conf.

Limit Length of Array in PHP

Using array_slice should do the trick.

array_slice($array, 0, 50); // same as offset 0 limit 50 in sql

how long array we can use in php

There is no limit of an array (maximum) you can store as you can but there is a limit on your script.

You can change the script memory limit by using memory_limit in your php.ini file.

When you get the error "Out of memory" than you need to modified your script memory as i mentioned above memory_limit .

One last thing, sometime you didn't have access to modify your php.ini than you can also use like this in your php file.

ini_set('memory_limit','128M'); // or something larger

Side Note:

If you change memory_limit from php.ini file, than you must need to restart APACHE.

Is there a maximum size of return values in SOAP/PHP?

The default amount of memory that PHP allows a script to allocate is 128 MB, and this includes variables such as arrays.

This 128 MB limit can be overridden globally by changing the memory_limit option in the php.ini. Changing the setting to -1 means "unlimited".

It can also be overridden on a per script basis by using the ini_set function:

ini_set('memory_limit', '-1'); // Unlimited RAM

When "unlimited" is used, the size of your array is determined by the amount of available RAM on your machine.

Maximum number of dimensions in a PHP array

Each array level generally costs you 304 bytes (determined by checking memory usage, creating an array, then checking again), and the total amount of memory can be calculated using ini_get("memory_limit"). To get the current usage, run memory_get_usage().

On my computer:

• ini_get("memory_limit") returns "128M", or 134217728 bytes.
• memory_get_usage() base use is 627120

so I would expect the limit on my kit to be 439442 depth

$_POST max array size

Try changing max_input_vars as well. More information: PHP max_input_vars and big forms.
