Generating image thumbnails using php - without running out of memory

Question

I am currently using a php gd implementation to resize images which constantly runs out of memory - rather quickly. I guess the problem are the php functions, like imagecrea

Answer 1

GD don't use that much memory, so you have other problems in your code.

If you resize multiple images and don't call imagedestroy on a newly created image, you run in memory leaks.
