JPG too big for upload?
August 25, 2008 - 3:59pm — thedolphin13
I am building an image server for business where the user will upload large scanned images - in beta, I tried to upload a 13.9 MB 5921 x 5293 - it freezes on 'creating thumbnail' (using application demo). Is this a problem in swf upload or the php thumbnail generator?
PHP
This is a PHP GD 2.0 issue.
Thanks...
Really quick - is there a solution or work-around? I'll just fallback to the standard swfupload if needed, but would like the thumbnails if possible. BTW, does anyone know if there is a java or PHP script that pre-loads the images prior to upload - this would work just as well. Thanks guys and gals!
Memory
There are varying reports on this. Some say the limit is like 4000x4000 pixels. I've also heard it's a memory limit issue. PHP does have a memory limit setting in the php.ini that you can try increasing.
I had the same problem
I had the same problem (hanging up on the thumbnail). I had:
memory_limit = 8M
... and couldn't work with large JPEGs so I bumped that up in my php.ini file.
This is all local of course, I sure hope it works on my virtual hosting service o_O
