Memory Exhausted when trying to resize

[eluser]metamorpher[/eluser]
I know this is an error for my server only, but I already modified my php.ini and assigned 512MB of the memory to process scripts, so I don't know why I have this problem, when for example I can process larger images (file size and image size) with such a blog tool like wordpress using just 8MB.

So, in detail, I put first the error

Code:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 1280 bytes) in
/Applications/MAMP/frameworks/codeigniter2/libraries/Image_lib.php on line 1155

Now, How I do the upload:

Code:

$up_config['file_name'] = time();
    $up_config['upload_path'] = MAINPATH . 'uploads/'; // MAINPATH is a constant I defined myself.
    $up_config['allowed_types'] = 'jpg';
    $up_config['max_size'] = '2048';
    $this->load->library('upload', $up_config);
    if($this->upload->do_upload('photo'))
    {
        $upload = $this->upload->data();
        $this->random_tools_model->generate_thumbnail($upload['full_path'], 200);
    }

and here's the thumbnail generator:

Code:

function generate_thumbnail($img_path_file, $size)
    {
        
        $this->load->library('image_lib');

        $img_data = $this->image_lib->get_image_properties($img_path_file, TRUE);

        if($img_data['width'] > $img_data['height'])
        {
            $conf['height'] = $size;            
        }
        else if($img_data['width'] < $img_data['height'])
        {
            $conf['width'] = $size;
        }

        $conf['source_image']    = $img_path_file;
        $conf['maintain_ratio'] = TRUE;
        $conf['image_library']    = 'gd2';

        if(!$this->image_lib->resize())
        {
            return false;
        }

        $this->image_lib->clear();

        return true;
    }

The max size it can process is like 600 px per 600 px

As I said, don't know why... I haven't had this problem with other scripts nor prior frameworks... I just moved to CI 2... Formerly I was using CI 1.7.

Can you help me at all?

Thank you in advance fellas

Well I figured out what the problem was.

I just had to call the clear function after the get_image_properties function.

That's it.. so if you have the same problem, you can know how to solve it:

Here's the final sketch of the generate_thumbnail function:

Code:

function generate_thumbnail($img_path_file, $size)
    {
        
        $this->load->library('image_lib');

        $img_data = $this->image_lib->get_image_properties($img_path_file, TRUE);

        // HERE'S THE BAD BOY WE WERE LOOKIN' FOR
        $this->image_lib->clear();

        if($img_data['width'] > $img_data['height'])
        {
            $conf['height'] = $size;            
        }
        else if($img_data['width'] < $img_data['height'])
        {
            $conf['width'] = $size;
        }

        $conf['source_image']    = $img_path_file;
        $conf['maintain_ratio'] = TRUE;
        $conf['image_library']    = 'gd2';

        if(!$this->image_lib->resize())
        {
            return false;
        }

        $this->image_lib->clear();

        return true;
    }

You can also add more memory in php.ini

As I told in the start on the topic, I already gave 512 MB of memory to the script compiler... Don't you think is crazy to keep giving it more? I don't know how hosting companies work with cloud computing, but my purpose is completely for development, not for production.

I'm having this problem also. I'm giving PHP 96MB to work with... I'm uploading a 5MB JPG and it gives me a fatal error trying to allocate over 100MB.

I've included $this->image_lib->clear(); after any resize I do.

Anyone else have any more experience with this?
