Hi all! Please may i request your valuable help. im trying to run this program below but says 'out of memory'. i have successfully executed scripts larger than this one, but im curious as to why this one is not working. Please can you tell me if there is an error in my code because of which there is 'out of memory'? thanks. 
for ($i=0;$i<=(scalar(@blocks));$i++)
