Re: [Perchpole] Max Upload Size - php.ini
Hi Perch,
Web hosts can set arbitrary limits on what you are allowed to do on their server. Some set them lower than others.
We need enough memory to store the upload that is being received, and even more to process it and create a thumbnail.
If you've ever tried to compress an image in a zip file you'll notice they don't compress, that's because they are already compressed formats. So to create a thumbnail the software uncompresses it in memory which can take a multiple of the size of the file.
Anyways, the short answer is you can ask your host to increase your memory limit, or upload smaller images, or even try uploading less images at a time.
One last thing, if this is an ongoing issue for you I could look at if it's possible to use less memory while resizing images, which might help some. Let me know.
Hope that helps!
