title: How to fix memory getting exhausted with PHPExcel?

  <p>My 128M PHP memory limit quickly gets exhausted even when I am only trying to open a small excel file of ~350 KB with PHPExcel. </p>
  
  <p>Although, I can increase the memory limit in the configuration but it'll be great to see if there are any alternatives to fix this.</p>
