Getting files from fileset, memory limit exceeded $fl->get();

Permalink
I'm creating a block that will display images in a certain way from a chosen fileset but when I try, I get the following error.
Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 110362624 bytes)


If I comment out the link $files = $fl->get(); then it works (except the $files array is empty)

I've tried using FileSet::getByID and by name and tried hardcoding the fileset name

if(isset($this->fileSet))
{
      $fs = FileSet::getByName($this->fileSet);
      $fl = new FileList();
      $fl->filterBySet($fs);
      $fl->sortBy('fsDisplayOrder', 'desc');
      $fl->sortByFileSetDisplayOrder();
      $files = $fl->get();
}


Any ideas?

Hi,

This looks like you need to increase PHP memory on your server.

It's set at 128Mb at the moment, I doubled it to 256Mb and it just times out and displays a blank white page after ages of waiting for it to load. So I set it back to 128Mb

I've got another block installed that fetches files from filesets and that works, I don't think it's the server.

By the way, I'm not doing anything fancy with the files just yet, just literally printing the array out.

---- EDIT

OK, that's weird when I call print_r($files); in view.php, this is what causes the error.
But if I do a foreach loop on the file array and echo $file->getRelativePath() it works.

What's the deal with the $files = $fl->get(); array that would cause print_r($files) to run out of memory?
Not that it matters now, I guess I fixed it but just out of curiosity.
