Here is the error:
Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 2028994560) (tried to allocate 35
bytes) in C:\Program Files\Apache Software
Foundation\Apac he2.2\htdocs\wa v_edit\WavForge Erwin.php on line 95

So that's 1.9 Gb

I setted in php.ini:
memory_limit = 8000000000

8Gb

XP prof (SP3) with 4G mem (3.2G adressable)

So with only 3.2 Gb physically available, how do you expect to
allocate 8Gb?

You are also running into a limit on the intel/PC architecture that
more than 4Gb of memory needs special handling (typically PAE) - and
cannot be allocated as a contigious block (think 32-bit numbers). In
practice ISR that there is a lower limit on XP - something like 3Gb -
a quick google turned up this:

If you really need to edit such large files then you'll need to switch
to a 64-bit OS running on fully 64-bit hardware.

The PHP file in question DOES need a lot of memory for soundeditting.
My problem is I cannot seem to increase the memorylimit.

Hi,

Update: I rewote my class and now it is less memory hungy (and doesn't
fail anymore because of the memorylimit.)
So my problem is solved, but I still wonder if PHP is limitted to 2GB
somehow.

PHP is not limited to anything, but no 32-bit Windows application can
use more then 2Gb of memory. You can allocate to your script more then
2Gb if you used it on OS that can handle more memory per process.

Thanks Sashka, that must be the resaon then. :-)
Now you tell me, I am quite sure I heard this somewhere before. (I
should fix my own memory.)
Thanks for your time.
