I am using the latest version of EasyPHPAlbum and, first, let me say how great it is. I have been able to do everything that I needed to do - easily.
The only issue that I am running into is when I upload a larger file (over 1M) through the administration, the program looks like it goes through but then comes up to a blank page. The front end then appears blank on that page too. When I look through ftp, the file that was uploaded is there, but at its original large size instead of the resized version. I got my web host to increase my per session limit to 7MB and my PHP memory limit to 16MB
The program works flawlessly with smaller files, but I would really like the end user to be able to just upload the files right from their camera (4.5-5M) to make it "dummy proof". Any suggestions, or are these files just too big and I'm dreamin'?(
Images larger than 1.3MB
I am using the latest version of EasyPHPAlbum 1.4.4 and have it running on my local PC for I have Apache, PHP, Prel. Everything works fine on the local system but on a hosted web server it will not resize a file any larger than 1.250MB. When trying to upload and resize the file that is 1.3MB it looks like it is working then on the admin page refresh it displays a blank page. I have to delete the file with my FTP session in order for the site to load the image gallery for viewing once more. I have tested this on two different web servers that I have access to and have made all the changes in the php.ini. I have everything at MAX in the PHP.INI but have the same issue. If I just copy the 1.3mb file to the directory with FTP service I have the same issue. (Blank Page)
It is like the system will not read a file larger than 1.3mb or can not process the file to make a thumbnail image needed. I know it is not a php.ini setting for I have a lot of scripts in php that I use to upload files that are on the same sites as this and they work fine up to 10MB. I think there is something in the way the EasyPHPAlbum is reading and processing the file information when you just open the gallery that has files larger than 1.250MB it that directory. Any file over 1.250 in size copied to the Gallery Directory using FTP service makes the program hang when trying to view.
A blank page is a result of
A blank page is a result of PHP running out of memory when it tries to create thumbnails. To check this you can replace the index.php file with the EasyPhpAlbum Lite file. In this version thumbnails will only be created if sufficient memory is available.
A blank page is a result of PHP running out of memory - not true
This is not the case. While other PHP scripts I have for doing Galleries and uploading file work without any issues at all on three different site providers.
I have the PHP.INI set to max for everything and I have the same results. It is the way the script is reading the directory when activated to view. It works correctly on any local system setup as a web server for testing but in the real world issues arise.
Please try EasyPhpAlbum Lite,
Please try EasyPhpAlbum Lite, the successor of EasyPhpAlbum to see if you still run into the same problems.
Re:Blank page
as you already thought, the files are too big. For PHP te resize a 4MB digital photo, you need to increase the memory limit further. Try increasing it to 64MB (PHP only takes hte memory it needs), if this still does not work increase it even further ;)
