"Fatal error" when using createimagefromjpeg()

[HuggieBear]

Morning all,

I'm getting the following error when trying to create a thumbnail using createimagefromjpeg():

[quote]
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8,388,608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 9216 bytes)
[/quote]

The file I'm trying to create a thumbnail of is 369,951 bytes in size, does anyone know why I'm getting this error, does it really allocate over 8MB of memory to create a thumbnail?

I've tried to free any memory with imagedestroy() but still the same error, any ideas?

Regards
Huggie
