[Xerte] Re: Problem creating SORM/IMS packages

Hi Paul

Thanks for your help on this - unfortunately it didn't work.

There doesn't appear to be the line of code

ini_set('max_execution_time', 300);

in php.ini

Also, the php.ini file is in a slight different folder patch i.e. \xampp\htdocs\toolkits\website_code\php\scorm

Therefore, I edited the php.ini file and added the 2 lines of code near the top of the file and before the conditional coding statements:

ini_set('max_execution_time', 300);

ini_set('memory_limit','128M');

but still got the error

"Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 125829120 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 35267066 bytes) in J:\xampp\htdocs\toolkits\website_code\php\scorm\archive.php on line 630"

Does the path of "\xampp\htdocs\toolkits\website_code\php\scorm\php.ini" and the absence of " ini_set('max_execution_time', 300);" indicate that I my colleague is using an old version?

Thanks

Raymond
