Just add this code before reading the file:

ini_set('memory_limit', '256M');

Change size according to your need.

Just restart your apache and then check it again – akhilp2255 Nov 19 '15 at 07:40
is is a shared server.. i cant restart it :/ – AdmiralCrunch Nov 19 '15 at 07:59
In case of shared hosting it is not possible to do so. Just check the phpinfo. – akhilp2255 Nov 19 '15 at 08:17

You can increase Allowed Memory Size from php.ini file on your server.

The memory is limited either by your hosting environment or by you php.ini file you may want to try upping this limit, otherwise check with your web host and see how much ram you have been allotted.

ini_set('memory_limit', '32M');

it's probably due to the limit imposed on your account by your hosting provider. The limit here is only a soft limit, it will not exceed the capabilities of your hosting environment – surprisedbadger Nov 19 '15 at 07:46
