Uploading a large image attachment using SMF fails

[bousra]

I try to upload a large image attachment using SMF but I receive a white screen after it process the upload finish.

i appreciate for your help.

OK... so how large was the attachment? What type of file was it?

[bousra]

I try to upload 7MB jpg file.

[Arantor]

Hmm, well, a white screen after uploading usually means a PHP limit is being hit.

What version of SMF?

[bousra]

I use SMF 2.0

[Arantor]

2.0 as in 2.0.0? As in 9 versions behind 2.0.9 the current version?

[bousra]

We use the current version 2.0.9

[Arantor]

OK... and how big (in pixels) is the JPG file? Just trying to narrow down the possible causes here.

[bousra]

The image size: 8484x6148px

As suspected, that's a very large image, larger than SMF was ever designed to deal with. It's failing when it tries to make the thumbnail image for it.

You can try changing the memory limit during the thumbnail generation stage - changing Sources/Subs-Graphics.php

Code (find) Select Expand

@ini_set('memory_limit', '90M');

Code (replace) Select Expand

@ini_set('memory_limit', '384M');

That should be enough for the image described. It is a huge image.

It's working. Thank you very much
