How can hosting restrictions impact the ability to adjust PHP memory limits for handling large data?

Hosting restrictions can limit the ability to adjust PHP memory limits for handling large data by preventing access to the php.ini file or restricting the maximum memory allocation allowed for PHP scripts. To work around this limitation, you can try setting the memory limit directly within your PHP script using the ini_set() function. This allows you to temporarily increase the memory limit for specific scripts without needing access to the php.ini file.

// Set memory limit to 256MB
ini_set('memory_limit', '256M');
