I believe there were changes to the memory_limit setting around version 5.2.1, prior to which it couldn't be changed by ini_set()

i use php 4 version, it is said that my server supports php5 and as well as php4

Did you restart the server? (not the hardware I mean stop/start apache)

[divinequran]

yes, i did it in my localhost, how do i restart my server only hosting provider have to do it. but is it necessary to restart server if i do so in coding?

I am sorry, my previous reply was misleading, you only need to stop start if you change a value in the php.ini file.

Whether ini_set() will work on shared hosting may well depend on if the hosting company allows ini_set to be overridden in scripts. I would doubt it, I think you may need to contact their support to check for yourself.
