Work with BIG picture

[Daniele]

Hi all
i have a script where you simply upload a picture and with $image =
imagecreatefromjpeg create an object to be able to work with it.
If i upload small picture ( less then 2M )it work fine and i'm able to
resize crop end save but with bigger picture php generate and error of
memory_limit on the line where is "$image =
imagecreatefromjpeg($_FILES['imgfile']['tmp_name']);"
my php.ini memory_limit is set to 40M;
i have to be able to upload jpg on hight resolution up to 5-6 Mb
any idea ?

The PHP image library loads the entire *uncompressed* image into memory.
That means sh*tloads of memory for large images.

Consider using memory-efficient external tools to accomplish this task, such
as the ImageMagick suite.
