How do I increase the memory assigned to PHP? I have a script that saving the hundreds or thousands of nodes at one time and It is nearly impossible to manage it with Batch API. When I am running my script it saying :


  Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 16 bytes) in /home/staging-uls/www/sites/all/modules/token/token.module on line 461.


I set the memory using ini_set('memory_limit','256M'). My script is still so long that showing the error. Is there any other way to do so?

What my script is doing exactly:


It fetches a data from other site using cUrl. The data are articles, journals and some other user's data.
After getting the data in XML format, it adds each content.
I increased the max_execution_time to unlimited and I used output buffering for keep my script in progress. Change the memory limit to 1024M. I got it from This URL.
