Question

I get this error when I try to upload a file of 3,424KB and got this error

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 12864 bytes)

but its fine when I try to upload a file thats 4,891KB why is this?

Also I have updated my php5.ini file and the permissions are fine and everything.

Any tips would be awesome thanks!

this is the line of the code where the error occurs:

 $image = imagecreatefromjpeg($source);

The gd library fully uncompresses your .jpg file in memory. So only the size in pixel matters, not how big the uploaded file is.

You need to increase your memory_limit a bit.
