PHP Upload memory_limit

[barkster]

I'm writing a simple upload script and  when I upload a 300k file I get "Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 2048 bytes) in..." when the file is totally under 8MB?  I've used this before and never had to change any setting in ini file or anything.  Seems to fail on "imagecreatefromjpeg" line.

 

function createthumb($filename,$thumb_path_name,$thumbsize) {
list($width, $height) = getimagesize($filename);			
$imgratio=$width/$height;
if ($imgratio>1){
	 $newwidth = $thumbsize;
	 $newheight = $thumbsize/$imgratio;
}else{
	 $newheight = $thumbsize;
	 $newwidth = $thumbsize*$imgratio;
}				
$thumb = imagecreatetruecolor($newwidth,$newheight);
$source = imagecreatefromjpeg($filename);
imagecopyresampled($thumb, $source, 0, 0, 0, 0, $newwidth, $newheight, $width, $height);
if(!imagejpeg($thumb,$thumb_path_name,80)) {
	error_log("\n".date("h:i:s").":Could not create thumbnail: ".$newname,3,"error.txt");
}
}

It hasnt to do with filesize, but memory (RAM) used. Probably ure running gd functions over very big image files, which drains the allowed memory of 8MB. U can increase the allowed memory in php.ini or with -- ini_set("memory_limit","10M"); -- but that shouldnt be a good practice i guess.

U cant always edit the php.ini file and it is not good option to do so.This can be better done in the client side scripting using the JAVASCRIPT.I suggest you to try this.

Do you think that because I run this function 2 times in the same script it is causing the memory overload, is there something in the function I should be releasing? Maybe that is what is using up all the RAM?

yeah trying freeing some memory. maybe it will help.

Yes, that seems to be what it was I modified it to this and uploaded some 2MB images no problem

 

function createthumb($filename,$thumb_path_name,$thumbsize) {
$source = imagecreatefromjpeg($filename);
list($width, $height) = getimagesize($filename);			
$imgratio=$width/$height;
if ($imgratio>1){
	 $newwidth = $thumbsize;
	 $newheight = $thumbsize/$imgratio;
}else{
	 $newheight = $thumbsize;
	 $newwidth = $thumbsize*$imgratio;
}				
$thumb = imagecreatetruecolor($newwidth,$newheight);
imagecopyresampled($thumb, $source, 0, 0, 0, 0, $newwidth, $newheight, $width, $height);
if(!imagejpeg($thumb,$thumb_path_name,80)) {
	error_log("\n".date("h:i:s").":Could not create thumbnail: ".$newname,3,"error.txt");
}
imagedestroy($source);
imagedestroy($thumb);
}

U cant alwyas edit the php.ini and thats true on shared hosts. Anyway they provide custom php.ini and also using ini_set() wont change the default php.ini, only change that feature on the specific script. As for the client side using javascript, i really dont get what ure talking.
