Working With Images

[eluser]Sunray Scott[/eluser]
When using the Image Manipulation class, I often get the following error:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 13824 bytes) in /home/sunray/public_html/upload/R3Marketing/system/libraries/Image_lib.php on line 1157

Where can I change the memory limitation? I have the class configured to use GD 2. Thank you.

Scott

Hi Sunray Scott and welcome to the CI forums.

This is a PHP problem, not a CI one.

You need to modify your php.ini file.

I'll assume, since you haven't said any different, that you're running the same operating system that I am.

Consequently you need to change the file:
/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

You'll find a line that starts with:
memory_limit

I'm guessing it's set to 32M.

Try changing it to 128M (or whatever you feel comfortable with) and then restart apache.

Thank you for the response. Working with CodeIgniter has been fun. I am used to bloated frameworks. I prefer light-weight frameworks. I am a fan of MFC as it is a light abstraction of the Windows API but .net is taking over.
