I'm working on a script that resizes uploaded photos. I've got it working on a source JPEG that's 2400 x 2400 px, but it fails on one that's 2500 x 2500 px with the error "Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 10000 bytes) in [name of script]"

What's odd is that I had the hosting company increase PHP's "memory_limit" parameter to 64M - but the error suggests it's only set to 32M.

Is there another parameter I should have them increase? They have also set upload_max_filesize and post_max_size to 64M, but is there another parameter that might resolve this memory problem?

    As per the error message, PHP's memory_limit is set to 32M and not 64M (which is the cause of your error). Do you not have the ability to modify (or supply your own) php.ini?

    Nope.

    Irrelevant - see above.

      create a PHP file with just this in and see what the memory limits are actually being reported as:

      <?php
phpinfo();

        Yeah - looks like they didn't increase it, though the site CP says they did. My guess is because it's a subdomain something else is overriding. Thanks for the pointer!
