How to reset memory_limit to default which is modifed by PHP code?

Question

I am using ini_set("memory_limit","256M"); to perform some actions which are not possible without changing memory limit by PHP code. But I want to reset memory limit back to default after executing that particular task

For Example

public function myFunction(){
   ini_set("memory_limit","256M");

   //Perform heavy actions

   resetMemoryLimitToDefault(); //Reset memory Limit
}

the limit will just apply for the single script execution. you dont neet to 'reset' it — user8011997

yes "Sets the value of the given configuration option. The configuration option will keep this new value during the script's execution, and will be restored at the script's ending. " php.net/manual/en/function.ini-set.php — user8011997

Save the value and then set it back:

public function myFunction(){
   $memory_limit0 = ini_get("memory_limit");
   ini_set("memory_limit","256M");

   //Perform heavy actions

   ini_set("memory_limit", $memory_limit0);
}

Keep in mind this change only lasts for the duration of the script, so "resetting" it might not be needed.
