Hello,
I spotted an obscure error and don't know how to track it down:

The export the completed answers of my survey (from
http://**host**/limesurvey2/admin/admin.php?action=exportresults&sid=63874) works fine in Firefox but generates an error when I call it from Internet Explorer.

the generated error: <b>Fatal error</b>: Allowed memory size of 16777216 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 16 bytes) in <b>/var/www/limesurvey2/classes/php-gettext/gettext.php</b> on line <b>88</b><br /

It does not seem to be a memory error, as using another browser solves the issue, but I need it to work under Internet Explorer too.

enabling debug=1 in config.php gave no error message of any kind in the apache log. Where should I look?

any pointer is welcome, thanks.

Did you try raising the memory limit? Different browser might need different ressources?!

pushing the memory limit to 32M did solve the issue (for exporting answers of a questionnaire of 197 questions).

thanks for the hint.

I don't get why different browser/OS would require different server resources for the same back-end (export) call, as the operations involved (build + run query, file creation,...) seem the same at first sight, but that fixed it anyway.

thanks again!

You're welcome
