# How to Increase your PHP Memory limit

PHP allocates a certain amount of memory when executing PHP scripts. When the allocated memory is exhausted, the PHP script shows a fatal error

```text Memory_limit error theme={null}
PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of xxx bytes exhausted (tried to allocate yyy) in yourscript.php
```

**Please note that the memory\_limit value should be set to at least as big as post\_max\_size.**

Follow these steps to increase memory\_limit in cPanel

* Log into your cPanel from within your Verpex client account
