Phoca Forum

Hello,

I use the Phoca Gallery Component 4.3.0 in my Joomla 3.5.1. After I created a category I got several errors on pages of the gallery:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 72 bytes) in /administrator/components/com_phocagallery/views/phocagallerycs/view.html.php on line 180

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 72 bytes) in /components/com_phocagallery/models/categories.php on line 166

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 27049 bytes) in /administrator/components/com_phocagallery/libraries/phocagallery/html/category.php on line 59

I've checked it and the reason I find out is the creation of an entry in the database table phocagallery_categories with id 0 (though I already have categories with id's from 1 to 14). If I change the ID or remove the entry everything is working fine.

What is going wrong?

(English is not my first language - sorry)

Hi, this message is displayed in case of memory problem, but I don't exactly understand this:

268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 72 bytes) - it only asked for 72 from 268435456 which means, there must be some other place which needs a lot of memory.

Next problem is, you get the problem on different places, which means, there is nothing specific which needs a lot of memory - so first you need to discover which part on your server needs to much error so then there is no memory for standard operations

When I see the rows of the problem, it is always about JObject method, so maybe there will be some problem in Joomla! libraries

Testing on my php7 server and get no problem. The idea is if you are able to change the code
FROM:
... = new JObject();

TO:
... = new stdClass();

Maybe this can solve the problem.

Thank you for the answer!

I've tried to change JObject(); to stdClass(); but the problem is the same. Also I've tried to change PHP 5.4 to PHP 7, but nothing has changed. And I've set the memory_limit from 256MB to several gigabytes, but again nothing has changed.

I think the main problem is the creation of the category creation with id 0, because the problem only appears if a category width id 0 exists?

Hi, yes, but the JObject(); to stdClass(); throws the error which then cause end of the script Maybe there is some limitation on the server, I am testing both JObject or stdClass - both are standard methods - one of Joomla! second of PHP and get no problems on all of my test servers (include PHP7) so maybe there is some limitation, maybe protection, on the server
