Image resizing in a loop problem

[eluser]Rick Jolly[/eluser]
I think the problem is that you are creating too many image_lib objects. You don't need to explicitly create a "new CI_Image_Lib();" object since the loader does that for you. Also, you can work with that one image_lib copy instead of creating multiple copies. Maybe try the code posted below:

Code:

$this->load->library("image_lib");

foreach ($images as $image)
{
  // 1st resizing
  // $this->image_lib = new CI_Image_Lib();

  $this->image_lib->clear();
  $config['source_image'] = $image;
  $config['maintain_ratio'] = TRUE;
  $config['width'] = 600;
  $config['height'] = 800;

  $this->image_lib->initialize($config);
  $this->image_lib->resize();
  // unset($this->image_lib); // trying to free the memory, but... :(

  // 2nd resizing
  // $this->image_lib = new CI_Image_Lib();
  
  $this->image_lib->clear();
  $config2['source_image'] = $image;
  $config2['maintain_ratio'] = TRUE;
  $config2['width'] = 75;
  $config2['height'] = 100;

  $this->image_lib->initialize($config2);
  $this->image_lib->resize();
  // unset($this->image_lib);
}
