Tell your users to be kind and resize their images to something sane before they shove them at your script. Of course if you don't care about that, you can always ignore time limit and bump up the memory limit too. I think the memory size can (sort of) be determined by width * height * bits * channels / 8. I've never found anything better than that. There are a few comments on the php site in the gd section about such things but I've never seen it work 100%. I always set the real memory limit much higher than what I say the max is for the memory size just in case it gets an image that could break it. At least that stopped the friendly white screens of death. :) If anyone has better ways of handling this I'd love to hear them. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
