Fatal error maximum function nesting level of 100 reached aborting in

I have made a function that finds all the URLs within an html file and repeats the same process for each html content linked to the discovered URLs. The function is recursive and can go on endlessly. However, I have put a limit on the recursion by setting a global variable which causes the recursion to stop after 100 recursions.

However, php returns this error:

Fatal error: Maximum function nesting level of ‘100’ reached,
aborting! in
D:wampwwwcrawler1simplehtmldom_1_5simple_html_dom.php on line
1355

I found a solution here: Increasing nesting function calls limit but this is not working in my case.

I am quoting one of the answers from the link mentioned above. Please do consider it.

«Do you have Zend, IonCube, or xDebug installed? If so, that is probably where you are getting this error from.

I ran into this a few years ago, and it ended up being Zend putting that limit there, not PHP. Of course removing it will let >you go past the 100 iterations, but you will eventually hit the memory limits.»

Is there a way to increase the maximum function nesting level in PHP

Another solution is to add xdebug.max_nesting_level = 200 in your php.ini

Go into your php.ini configuration file and change the following line:

xdebug.max_nesting_level=100

to something like:

xdebug.max_nesting_level=200

on Ubuntu using PHP 5.59 :
got to `:

/etc/php5/cli/conf.d

and find your xdebug.ini in that dir, in my case is 20-xdebug.ini

and add this line `

xdebug.max_nesting_level = 200

or this

xdebug.max_nesting_level = -1

set it to -1 and you dont have to worry change the value of the nesting level.

Check recursion from command line:

php -r 'function foo() { static $x = 1; echo "foo ", $x++, "n"; foo(); } foo();'

if result > 100 THEN check memory limit;

<?php
ini_set('xdebug.max_nesting_level', 9999);
... your code ...

P.S. Change 9999 to any number you want.

Stumbled upon this bug as well during development.

However, in my case it was caused by an underlying loop of functions calling eachother — as a result of continuous iterations during development.

For future reference by search engines — the exact error my logs provided me with was:

Exception: Maximum function nesting level of '256' reached, aborting!

If, like in my case, the given answers do not solve your problem, make sure you’re not accidentally doing something along the lines of the following simplified situation:

function foo(){
    // Do something
    bar();
}

function bar(){
    // Do something else
    foo();
}

In this case, even if you set ini_set('xdebug.max_nesting_level', 9999); it will still print out the same error message in your logs.

Another solution if you are running php script in CLI(cmd)

The php.ini file that needs edit is different in this case. In my WAMP installation the php.ini file that is loaded in command line is:

wampbinphpphp5.5.12php.ini

instead of wampbinapacheapache2.4.9binphp.ini which loads when php is run from browser

You can also modify the {debug} function in modifier.debug_print_var.php, in order to limit its recursion into objects.

Around line 45, before :

$results .= '<br>' . str_repeat('&nbsp;', $depth * 2)
  . '<b> -&gt;' . strtr($curr_key, $_replace) . '</b> = '
  . smarty_modifier_debug_print_var($curr_val, ++$depth, $length);

After :

$max_depth = 10;
$results .= '<br>' . str_repeat('&nbsp;', $depth * 2)
  . '<b> -&gt;' . strtr($curr_key, $_replace) . '</b> = '
  . ($depth > $max_depth ? 'Max recursion depth:'.(++$depth) : smarty_modifier_debug_print_var($curr_val, ++$depth, $length));

This way, Xdebug will still behave normally: limit recursion depth in var_dump and so on.
As this is a smarty problem, not a Xdebug one!

I had the same problem and I resolved it like this:

• Open MySQL my.ini file
• In [mysqld] section, add the following line: innodb_force_recovery =
  1
• Save the file and try starting MySQL
• Remove that line which you just added and Save

Fatal error: Maximum function nesting level of ‘100’ reached, aborting! in …projectdb.php on line 2

My db.php code

$db = mysql_connect ("localhost","db_user","password");
mysql_select_db("db_name",$db);

What’s wrong?

asked Jul 5, 2013 at 12:04

Increase the value of xdebug.max_nesting_level in your php.ini, INFO
There is a question here

mysql_connect will return a boolean therefor :

<?php
$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password');
if (!$link) {
    die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
echo 'Connected successfully';
mysql_select_db("databaseName");
?>

You can still use xdebug in Magento 2, but it will require modifying the default max_nesting_level value of 100 that xdebug uses.

Open up the php.ini file being used by your server and update or add the following config, depending on if it already exists in your file:

xdebug.max_nesting_level = 200

This works for me, but if you still see the error you can try doubling the value again.

Ошибка в системе, уже много раз про это писал, но разработчики никак не отреагировали, дело в том что когда удаляешь все категории массив который обрабатывается с помощью foreach пустой и foreach дает ошибку.
Разработчики исправте уже наконец!!!

Возможно меню ругается, удалите из меню лишнее и проверьте виджеты что на главной

Re: Ошибка Maximum function nesting level of ‘100’ reached, aborting!

У меня лично подобную ошибку выдал из-за того, что я удалил страницу из «Содержимого», а пункт меню, ссылающийся на эту страницу, остался. То есть была менюшка без ссылки на страницу. Только удалил глюченый пункт — все заработало. Может, поможет кому
