memory_get_usage - Returns the amount of memory allocated to PHP

SYNOPSIS
int memory_get_usage ([bool $real_usage = false]) DESCRIPTION
Returns the amount of memory, in bytes, that's currently being allocated to your PHP script. PARAMETERS
o $real_usage - Set this to TRUE to get the real size of memory allocated from system. If not set or FALSE only the memory used by emalloc() is reported. RETURN VALUES
Returns the memory amount in bytes. CHANGELOG

ini_get - Gets the value of a configuration option

SYNOPSIS
string ini_get (string $varname) DESCRIPTION
Returns the value of the configuration option on success. PARAMETERS
o $varname - The configuration option name. RETURN VALUES
Returns the value of the configuration option as a string on success, or an empty string for null values. Returns FALSE if the configura- tion option doesn't exist. EXAMPLES
Example #1 A few ini_get(3) examples <?php /* Our php.ini contains the following settings: display_errors = On register_globals = Off post_max_size = 8M */ echo 'display_errors = ' . ini_get('display_errors') . " "; echo 'register_globals = ' . ini_get('register_globals') . " "; echo 'post_max_size = ' . ini_get('post_max_size') . " "; echo 'post_max_size+1 = ' . (ini_get('post_max_size')+1) . " "; echo 'post_max_size in bytes = ' . return_bytes(ini_get('post_max_size')); function return_bytes($val) { $val = trim($val); $last = strtolower($val[strlen($val)-1]); switch($last) { // The 'G' modifier is available since PHP 5.1.0 case 'g': $val *= 1024; case 'm': $val *= 1024; case 'k': $val *= 1024; } return $val; } ?> The above example will output something similar to: display_errors = 1 register_globals = 0 post_max_size = 8M post_max_size+1 = 9 post_max_size in bytes = 8388608 NOTES
Note When querying boolean values A boolean ini value of off will be returned as an empty string or "0" while a boolean ini value of on will be returned as "1". The function can also return the literal string of INI value. Note When querying memory size values Many ini memory size values, such as upload_max_filesize, are stored in the php.ini file in shorthand notation. ini_get(3) will return the exact string stored in the php.ini file and NOT its integer equivalent. Attempting normal arithmetic functions on these values will not have otherwise expected results. The example above shows one way to convert shorthand notation into bytes, much like how the PHP source does it. CHANGELOG
