# Here's how to fix a PHP error: maximum size allowed for memory of x bytes exhausted

If you are getting a [PHP](https://help.ex2.com/en/article/what-is-php-and-what-is-it-used-for-x4xvdq/?bust=1784054117446) error like "Allowed memory size of... in file /directory/folder/yourscript.php", then you can use a .htaccess trick to resolve this problem. 

If this error does not go away even after applying this .htaccess code, you should contact us, and we will help you.

Place this code in the .htaccess file of your main domain and if this error persists even after you have used the code, enter it in a directory where you are receiving an error, such as example.com/directory/folder/.htaccess and place the code in the /directory folder.
