I've tried every method in the PHPExcel 1.7.8 manual for cell caching, but none work. I still run out of memory every time I try to load an Excel file of about 30 MB.
Here is my code:
ini_set('memory_limit', '256M'); // Up from default 32MB
require MODULES_DIR . '/PHPExcel.php';
$cacheMethod = PHPExcel_CachedObjectStorageFactory::cache_to_discISAM;
$cacheSettings = array('dir' => '/usr/local/tmp');
PHPExcel_Settings::setCacheStorageMethod($cacheMethod, $cacheSettings);
$inputFileType = PHPExcel_IOFactory::identify($dir . $source_file);
$objReader = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createReader($inputFileType);
$objReader->setReadDataOnly(true);
$objPHPExcel = $objReader->load($dir . $source_file);
$total_sheets = $objPHPExcel->getSheetCount();
$allSheetName = $objPHPExcel->getSheetNames();
$objWorksheet = $objPHPExcel->setActiveSheetIndex(0);
$highestRow = $objWorksheet->getHighestRow();
$highestColumn = $objWorksheet->getHighestColumn();
$headingsArray = $objWorksheet->rangeToArray('A1:'.$highestColumn.'1',null, true, true, true);
$headingsArray = $headingsArray[1];
$r = -1;
$namedDataArray = array();
for ($row = 2; $row <= $highestRow; ++$row) {
$dataRow = $objWorksheet->rangeToArray('A'.$row.':'.$highestColumn.$row,null, true, true, true);
if ((isset($dataRow[$row]['A'])) && ($dataRow[$row]['A'] > '')) {
++$r;
foreach($headingsArray as $columnKey => $columnHeading) {
$namedDataArray[$r][$columnHeading] = $dataRow[$row][$columnKey];
}
}
}
I've tried every one of the cell caching mechanisms all the way down to "cache_to_sqlite3" but none of them work.
Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong here?
EDIT: Apparently I skipped over the "cache_to_sqlite" option. I tried that and it started caching. However, it still runs out of memory during the caching process on a 30 MB file with 256MB of memory available. Here is the error:
