[SOLVED] Is there a max size that prevents thumbnails (Using GD)

[tryingtolearn]

Does anyone know if there is a size limit that would prevent a thumbnail from being created with GDlib?

 

I am creating thumbnails on the fly

If I load a 600 by 600 image it works

but say I load a large image

2288x1712

I dont get the thumb - just a broken image.

 

Just wondering if there would be setting that blocks this.

if you are creating an image from an uplod file make sure the file you are uploading does not exceeed the upload_max_filesize php ini setting.

It is under the max filesize.

The image gets uploaded - it just doesnt create the thumb, I just get the broken image.

(Im assuming that if the file exceeds the max file size it wont upload - am I wrong in that assumption?)

 

I started using thumbs up http://www.gerd-tentler.de/tools/

When I noticed it happening I thought maybe it was something with that -

but it does the same thing with a basic resize script also.

 

I dont get it

Seems the problem is with the

memory_limit setting,

It was set to 20M

 

I added an .htaccess line

php_value memory_limit 30M

 

And it thumbnails the large images

 

Any drawbacks to doing this?

You will use a larger portion of you systems resources but I doubt it will be noticed...
