1. Create a new file in notepad or similar editor and enter the following lines in the file
php_flag register_globals off
register_globals = 0
memory_limit = 64M
2. Once done with the above steps, save the file as php.ini and upload it to your /wp-admin/ directory of wordpress
This will effect in increasing of PHP memory limit as sometimes default limit set by the hosting service provider is very low.
Even if you are still receiving the above error
1. Edit .htaccess file in notepad or similar editor (if not present then create one)
2. Add these two lines in the file
AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php
after at the # END WORDPRESS
It is to make sure that your php files will run with php5.
