memory size exhausted

[lucop1]

Hi, I've a problem with the plugin.

I've to import a lot of products from an XML file.

I'm running a foreach loop to then I create the $data array with all the products values, then foreach product I run the import function:

try {
    /** @var $import AvS_FastSimpleImport_Model_Import */
    $import = Mage::getModel('fastsimpleimport/import');
    $import->setPartialIndexing(false)->processProductImport($data);
} catch (Exception $e) {
}

but I see from the console that every time a product has been imported the memory usage of php increase a lot by 10-20 MB at time. And after 10-15 products it shows the default php memory limit error.

PHP Fatal error:  Allowed memory size of 536870912 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 64 bytes) in /home/xxxxx/public_html/lib/Varien/Db/Adapter/Pdo/Mysql.php on line 2939

This is an example of a product I array I use for configurable products:

$data[] = array(
                'name' => (string)$item->NAME,        // name
                'sku' => (string)$item->ID,        // sku
                '_type' => 'simple',
                'special_price' => $n_price,    // special price
                'price' => $price,    // price
                'costo' => replace_vir($item->PRICE_RES),    // price
                'price_min' => $prezzo,    // price
                '_attribute_set' => $attribute_set,            // attribute_set
                '_product_websites' => 'base',
                'description' => (string)$item->DESCRIPTION_IT,        // full description
                'short_description' => taglia_parola((string)$item->DESCRIPTION_IT, 245),    // short description
                'qty' => $qty,        // qty
                '_category' => $cats,               // ID of categories
                $taglia => (string)$item->SIZE,
                'ext_id' => (string)$item->BARCODE,
                'visibility' => 1,
                //'weight' => (string)$item->mass,        // weight
                //'tax_class_id' => '2',                    // tax class id (check your ids)
                //'manufacturer' => (string)$manufacturer,        // manufacturer
                'meta_title' => (string)$item->NAME,            // meta title
                'meta_description' => taglia_parola((string)$item->DESCRIPTION_IT, 145),
                //'color' => $color,
                'status' => $sstatus,
                'is_in_stock' => $status,
                'disponibile'=>$disp
            );

 $data[] = array(
            'sku' => $sku,
            '_type' => 'configurable',
            '_attribute_set' => $attribute_set,
            '_product_websites' => 'base',
            'price' => $price,
            'special_price' => $n_price,
            'costo' => $costo,    // price
            'price_min' => $price_min,    // price
            'name' => $name,
            'description' => $description,
            'short_description' => taglia_parola($short_description, 245),
            'status' => $cstatus,
            'visibility' => 4,
            'tax_class_id' => 2,
            'is_in_stock' => $status,
            '_category' => $cats,
            'meta_title' => $name,            // meta title
            'meta_description' => taglia_parola($short_description, 145),
            '_super_products_sku' => $configurables[$i],
            '_super_attribute_code' => $taglia,

        );

How can I solve this problem ?

Thank you very much for the support!

And why not use a bulk of products to import? Instead all in one ?

[avstudnitz]

10-15 is much too few to reach any memory limits. I have done 50k in single runs with 1G of memory. There must be something else what's wrong, maybe the routine to retrieve the array.

Please make sure you are not calling processProductImport in a loop.

How many configurable products do you have in the system? I ran into a memory issue, this is fixed by PR #181
