Laravel Dompdf

You may have to do so many at a time, check for existence of last, then do next batch, etc.

Also look into increasing your allowed memory. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60224285/php-fatal-error-allowed-memory-size-of-2097152-bytes-exhausted-tried-to-alloca

@theblack68 , if you are using WAMP ,please follow up this steps

(left click ) wampmanager icon -> PHP -> php.ini

you can change it without having any issues

1. There are only 2 ways out of this, optimize the code to use less memory or increase the memory
2. A better place to put such long running tasks is a command/job, a web controller's method is not a good place
3. Once in a command/job, I will increase the memory limit higher, either 512 or unlimited ini_set('memory_limit', -1);.

Hi laracroft ...

A better place to put such long running tasks is a command/job, a web controller's method is not a good place...

Would you mind helping me with some advice for this task?

Thanks a lot

@theblack68

What are your concerns or what are you unsure of?

I didn't understand how to do without the controller.

I think you intend to set a cron at a time of day?

In case what changes in terms of memory limits?

...because I have set ini_set('memory_limit', -1) but I get the same error.

After about 170 record processed I get the error ;(

@theblack68 Put this in the boot() of your service provider

$schedule = $this->app->make(\Illuminate\Console\Scheduling\Schedule::class);
$schedule->call(function () {

    ini_set('memory_limit', -1);
    foreach(Associate::all() as $associate) {
        ProcessPdf::dispatch($associate);
    }

})->daily(); // runs at midnight daily

See here for more info on task scheduling

Thanks laracroft ...I try now.

I hope don't receive the error anyway ;(

@theblack68

If you still get memory issues, you have to increase the memory in the job

    public function handle()
    {
        ini_set('memory_limit', -1);
        $path = storage_path('app/downloads/pdf/' . $this->associate->ragione_sociale . '_' . $this->associate->codice_contribuente . '.pdf');
        PDF::loadView('prints.print', ['associate' => $this->associate])->save($path);
    }

Thanks laracroft ...I have finish now to test it ;)

All works right with the memory_limit in the job.

Great ;)
