So…here’s the deal. I’ve got a SafeCracker form which includes two SafeCracker File fields. The issue I’m running into is: when an Admin logs in and uploads a file from the front-end, magic happens and the file is uploaded. If a member (of a group with uploading privileges who is not an admin) attempts to upload a file, the user is presented with a blank screen upon submission and the file is not uploaded. PHP Errors on, I receive this message:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 152807913 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 30317609 bytes) in /system/codeigniter/system/core/Common.php on line 492

PHP Memory is at 128M, upload_max_filesize is cranked to 100M while I’ve been trying to figure out the issue. Any ideas what is going on here?

Hi, Wade. If the file is a very small .jpg file, does the problem still occur? What kind of file are you attempting to upload? I suspect it might have to do with XSS cleaning which takes up more memory.

Uploading small .jpg’s works. The files I’m attempting to upload are video’s which are roughly 18 MB in size. I’ll see if I can turn off XSS Cleaning. Is that a hidden config variable?

Hi, Wade.

Game on Sue! Thanks so much, that worked like a charm. I’m going to have to remember that one!

Glad that worked for you.. If anything else comes up, please do let us know in a new thread..
