Thanks for replying.  Peter Risdon told me that earlier but I forgot to
say that i got it working.  I was wondering if since that file I was
accessing was only 1M, and it took up about 10M of memory, do files for
example 2M take up about 20M of memory? Is the relation 1:10 or more?

Im just speculating coz I want to make concrete rules for php.ini to
follow that are safe on system resources.

Yours,

Rommel
