When attempting to attach a 1500x1500 pixel image to a forum post, I get a blank white screen after clicking submit with no errors.

When attempting to attach a 1000x1000 pixel image to a forum post, I get the following error:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 12582912 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 4000 bytes) in /home/24535/domains/dragonavenue.com/html/dnd4sys/core/core.image_lib.php on line 495

Both images are less than 100K in size.

Images are allowed to be 1500x1500 within the EE settings.  Any ideas on how I can address the issue?

That’s PHP running out of steam memory.

Here it’s got at least enough breath left to tell you it’s dying 😊

Both images are less than 100K in size.

Size doesn’t matter (much), it’s the resolution, the width x height in pixels that’s important.

Allocate more memory to PHP, or, rather, have your host do it. You’ve got 12MB, from what I can tell, which is a little sparse for images and such. Try at least 16MB, more if they let you.

Bingo!

I upped the PHP memory limit to 18MB and decreased allowed size to 1000x1000.  That should nip the issue in the bud.

Thanks for the thorough help Ingmar!  A+ gold star for you!

My pleasure. Glad it’s solved, it’s quite a common issue.

😉  Yep- it’s nice to see the warning- sometimes it’s just a white screen, which can make things trickier to track down.  Glad you’re squared away.
