Allowed memory size for file uploads

[Brelle]

We have added products with customizable properties, the file upload. We are trying to upload larger files up to 5MB and get error:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 13144 bytes) in /home/greenlab/public_html/butik/images.inc.php on line 153


We have set the "The maximum size of pictures uploadable by customers (in Bytes)" to max 5 MB.


How can we increase the memory limit?

Thank you!

Hi,
What memory_limit is set in PHP, you can check by running PHPINFO. It is usually set to 32M or less and can cause this error, I have set mine to 128M as I need customers to upload images for personalised gifts. You can either get this changed by your web host or create a PHP.INI file within the root folder of your store containing the line
ini_set("memory_limit","128M");

This should resolve the problem as I have done this on a number of hosts as well as locally

Hope this helps

Hi,
Thank you for your feedback. We have increased our memory limit to 128MB in PHP. However, we have also set the "Maximum size of product pictures:" in admin to 5242880 bytes (5MB). It seems that this value take no effect and we still get error for uploads. We try to upload files less then 2MB and still error.

Any idea, advise?

Thanks!

What is the error, have you checked with phpinfo that the actual memory limit has been increased to 128M as the php.ini method does not always work. A detailed approach to fixing this is listed on the forum if you search for php.ini or memory limit.
