Image File Upload Problem

Hi,
I cannot upload files larger than 1M. from my websites to my server.

This is the message I get.

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 41943040 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 3452 bytes) in /home1/arhezoin/public_html/webassist/file_manipulation/helperphp.php on line 865

This is the content of my php.ini file

post_max_size = 5M
upload_max_filesize = 5M
max_execution_time = 600
max_input_time = 600
memory_limit = 40M

Thanks for the help.

are these image files?

are you doing any resizing?

if you are resizing the images, the GD library will need to use a considerable amount of memory.

add the following to line 1 of the page to increase the memory limit setting:

<?php

ini_set('memory_limit', '256M');

?>

That makes it work on that server.
I have another site hosted by 1and1.com, where I can't make the application work.
It seems that I cannot allocate more than 40M memory.
Does that make sense ?

I got a reply from 1and1.com.
They will not provide for more than 30M on share hosting.
Not much to do I guess.

yes, unfortunately this will mean the image resizing in file upload will not work with 1and1.
