 * May need to increase memory allocated to PHP.
 * Two methods for increasing the amount of memory a PHP script may consume:
 * If you have access to your PHP.ini file, change the line in PHP.ini
    If your 
   line shows 8M try 16M: `memory_limit = 16M ; Maximum amount of memory a script
   may consume (16MB)`
 * If you don’t have access to PHP.ini try adding this to an .htaccess file:
    `php_value
   memory_limit 16M`
