Fatal error: Allowed memory size

on Upload Images I'm getting the error below, even though on my php.ini file the upload_max_filesize = 100M and memory_limit = 32M?

the file size to upload is a little bit over 3Mb.

"Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 21248 bytes) in /home/jvdydf5kad9w/public_html/webassist/file_manipulation/helperphp.php on line 914"

This is happening during the file resize. It takes a lot of memory to load an image into the GD library and calculate how to make it smaller. Can you increase the memory_limit setting to 64M? That is your best option. The upload max filesize is not the issue. The memory_limit needs to be about 20x the maximum image file size that will be resized.

Ok. I'll try that then. Thanks for the info.

I'm having the same issue:

"Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 26020 bytes) in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/sites/abm-sites/granite-shop/webassist/file_manipulation/helperphp.php on line 1146"

Historically, I've just added the ini_set memory limit and it's been fine... However I have this as the first line on both pages I'm getting this error on:
"<?php ini_set("memory_limit", "256M") ?>"


What's equally odd, historically I've run into this on the live server, but not locally in XAMPP. I'm getting the error on both, even when trying to upload images less than 1 MB.

Use a larger limit, it appears to be going over that. A 1MB image is relatively large. It takes quite a bit of memory to load that image and then resize it, so you need to have a lot of memory to resize a 1MB image.

Forgive my ignorance, but what does the "M" reference in the "256M"? I guess I read it as 256 MB, thinking it's many times the necessary size.

I upped to 1024M and it appears to be working... I just find it odd that in the past I've been able to upload 6MB files no problem with the 256M setting but we'll keep our fingers crossed that it's good to go. Thanks Ray!
