But before you change that, you may want to dive into the code that
consumes so much memory. Perhaps you just don't reuse/free enough memory
or have a bug in your code that causes it to loop too often.

But as said, it has nothing to do with postgres and is a pure php error
and you may want to continue your quest on the php mailing lists or
their pretty decent manual.
