Running Out of RAM - PHP

Linux file structure contains within it a special area called /proc. Now, some believe that there's black magic in that directory. For those who know better than to fear the /proc, there awaits much good magic, in the form of server info. Looking for a way to retrieve real-time server information and display it to users in your Web application? Today's your lucky day! Take a look at the patSysinfo PHP class, which lets you do that and a whole lot more.

This usually looks a lot nicer when it's properly formatted into an HTML table, as in this revision of the script above:

<html> <head> </head> <body> <table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5"> <tr> <td>Type</td> <td>Total memory</td> <td>Used memory</td> <td>Free memory</td> <td>Shared</td> <td>Buffers</td> <td>Cached</td> </tr> <?php // include class include("patSysinfo.php"); // instantiate object $sys = new patSysinfo(); // get memory information $mem = $sys->getMem(); // output memory information foreach($mem as $m) { echo "<tr>"; echo "<td>" . $m['type'] . "</td>"; echo "<td>" . $m['total'] . "</td>"; echo "<td>" . $m['used'] . "</td>"; echo "<td>" . $m['free'] . "</td>"; echo "<td>" . $m['shared'] . "</td>"; echo "<td>" . $m['buffers'] . "</td>"; echo "<td>" . $m['cached'] . "</td>"; echo "</tr>"; } ? > </body> </html>
