Joomla fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted? – Problem Solved!

fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted?

Ran into this? chances are your memory limit is set to only 8MB, which is rather low for most of the scripts. Lucky you I discovered a quick fix and save you from the frustration trying to fix this :)

Ok, let me share what I found.

Open your configuration.php file located at the Joomla root folder, and insert this tiny little script just after the PHP open tag.

For example

<?php
ini_set('memory_limit','12M'); //recommended is 32MB, so they say but ill will put 12M for this example
//rest of the script follows...

save your configuration.php file and reload your page. Works like a wonder :) , Yes?

UPDATE: BTW for some reason when you installed Joomla and admin page is somewhat lost and scattered, This little code can fix it. I think you know the reason…ok chow

Formatting output of datetime MySQL value

February 22nd, 2010

I wanted to give a new output for those ugly looking datetime values in MySQL, which we get by using NOW() function in INSERT.

Why? because it pretty darn ugly, unpresentable and robot like.

Ok ok, maybe that’s description overkill for datetime, but how would you like this “2010-02-14 11:12:58″ to look like this “February 14, 2010″.

Pretty readable that the later huh.

Ok enough blah blah, here is my function, feel free to abuse it. :) 

function Format_Date($date){
	$mos=array('01'=>January,'02'=>February,'03'=>March, '04'=>April, '05'=>May, '06'=>June, '07'=>July, '08'=>August, '09'=>September, '10'=>October, '11'=>Novermber, '12'=>December);
	$d = explode(" ",$date);
	$n = explode("-",$d[0]);
	return $mos[$n[1]].' '.$n[2].', '.$n[0].' '.$d[1];
}

To use this function:

$query=mysql_query("SELECT datetime FROM table"); //2010-02-14 12:11:03
while($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($query)){
echo Format_Date($row[datetime]);//February 14, 2010
}

Easy right? fell free to post your customizatios :)
