What is the memory limit of php 7?

Question

I read somewhere (and now I’m not finding where) that in php version 7 there is no memory lilmite. That is, the memory that can be allocated would be the machine’s RAM. Does it proceed? Has anyone read anything about it?

Answer 1

According to the manual:

memory_limit integer

Sets the maximum amount of memory in bytes a script is allowed to allocate. This helps prevent scripts badly written consume all available memory on the server. Note that to have no memory limit, set this directive to -1.

http://php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.memory-limit

I have already noticed that in previous versions, PHP limited the memory in 4GB, so the most that could reach was 4GB - 1MB:

ini_set('memory_limit', '4095M');
