Hi

Some of my PHP scripts use a large volume of memory.  Is there a way I can:

1) Increase the script memory limit, and
2) Force a garbage collect at script end (and reset the limit).

I am currently using PHP 5.1.4

Thanks,

Bruce

 From PHP, I guess you could do ini_set("memory_limit"), unless you are 
running in safe mode.
