A page on one of our sites uses a google map where we plot cities where our users are. Unfortunately (or luckily?), we came to a point when the script that plots the data is exceeding php's default mem quota. The URL of that page is http://daihinia.com/map/deployments

Can we increase the php mem quota for a specific site? If yes, how?

Hi,

You can increase the site's memory allowance through the use of a custom php.ini page. You can see some more on doing that here; http://wiki.lunarpages.com/Create_php.ini and for the php.ini entries you will want to use something like the following;

max_execution_time = 60
memory_limit = 60M

as far as i understand, the site's php.ini should contain only the necessary settings, leaving the rest to the server's default?

No. .htaccess does not allow php_value and php_flag. You will get a "500" error. Use php.ini instead.

Correct. Run
Code:
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
to see what the default settings are, and what you need to override.

just dd as MichaelT suggested, as per the link he provided.
my custom php.ini contains just this:
[PHP]
memory_limit = 128M      ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume

i keep getting "user warning: Got a packet bigger than 'max_allowed_packet' bytes" on that page. other pages seem to work fine.
what else should i add to my php.ini?

Hello,

max_allowed_packet is not a PHP variable but a MySQL variable which needs to be updated in the MySQL configuration file. It might not be possible to tweak it on a shared environment but can be easily updated in a VPS or dedicated environment. Please update your ticket for any questions in this regard.

Obviously, this problem appeared after i've overriden php.ini, without touching any of mysql configs (which i don't have access to).

It seems that there are some options in the hoster's php.ini that got replaced, even if i didn't specify anything mysql-related in my php.ini.

Very strange.

The problem disappeared without any action on my side. Probably the admin changed there something at the same time with me.

I checked your account and do not see any entries in your .htaccess needed to activate your custom php.ini file in the public_html/daihinia subdirectory.
