Re: [development] Why does Drupal require so much memory?

I'd asked the host to increase the max packets allowed and they made it 20M, but that still doesn't work. So I've requested it to be increased to 32M. But I'm concerned that in the future, I'll run into the same problem.

As an aside, and I may be wrong here, but isn't the max packets allowed a MySQL setting? Changing that isn't going to affect how much memory PHP has available to it. I think the setting you're looking for is: 'memory_limit' in ye olde php.ini I know this doesn't answer your question, sorry about that, thought it was worth mentioning though. :) Kind Regards, Liam McDermott.
