Re: imagecreatefromjpeg fails on large files

[Sorry if there's multiple posts...] Raditha, Thanks for the good suggestion. It turns out that the call to imagecreatefromjpeg succeeds when run from the command line and fails when invoked via the web server. I guess it is a memory limit issue of some sort. I tried upping the memory_limit via ini_set and while my setting seems to take effect according to phpinfo(), the imagecreate call still fails. So seeing that it runs from the command line, I tried to have php code from the web server call a php script via exec(). This resulted in some truly strange behavior. It seemed that instead of running the script I asked exec() to run, it ran the same php page that was being served up by the server. It's like exec was not actually launching any new process, and I had the same trouble with system() and back-tics. I'm pretty much ready to give up on this one. Thanks again for your help. -Dave jabber@raditha.com (Raditha Dissanayake) on Sat, 17 Jul 2004 08:55:26 +0600: > Hav you had luck running the script from the command line? if that > works for you it could be that you are hitting the memory limits for > your php scripts.
