PHP can be built to include various extensions and capabilities.  The more
stuff built into it, the more memory it takes up when running.  For example,
RH ships php with almost everything included in one big RPM.  So it takes
lots of memory.  Others ship it with an RPM for most major functions, and
you only install what you need, resulting in it using less memory.

As for settings in php.ini which control memory limits on php, this depends
on your needs.  If you want to allow uploading of 5 MB files, then it various
memory parameters have to be set to at least 5 MB.  If you want to upload
10 MB files, then they need to be set to at least 10 MB. And so on.

So how much memory php takes or requires is dependent on your php build and
on what you want to do with it.

Try the above explaination.   The problem is your question is not specific
enough.
