    Default Error trying to create an ad

    I cannot, for the life of me, get my ad to post!

    I keep getting this:
    Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 17208 bytes) in /home/straight/public_html/classifieds/image-inc.php on line 127
    I tried selecting fewer pictures, smaller pictures, etc.. Ending with one picture that is 400kb. I get the same error. I tried shortening the description. What's happening?

    I don't know for sure, but you might just create a text only ad, then edit the ad afterward adding one photo at a time
    Find me on SRP's official chat in ##srp on Freenode. Link is at top of SRP's homepage

    Interesting:

    I posted the ad successfully, but got the error when I tried to upload a picture.

    What IS working for the though is pasting the Picasa URL for the uploaded pic into the Upload File Dialog box.

    It is all up now, though just not by uploading directly from my computer. Anyhow, thank you for getting the ball rolling for me!

    33554432 bytes is 32 megabytes, so that isn't the problem. Somewhere the software is identifying something as larger than it is.

    FWIW, your images should be much smaller than 400 kb. For the classifieds I size all my pics to 700 pixels wide, by whatever the height works out to, the resolution is always 72 ppi. 700 pix is considered by a lot of people to be the widest browser/screen friendly size for use on the web.

    Sized that way with little compression your jpeg's should end up under 100k. With moderate compression you can get them down to about 30-40k and still looking good.

    I think your image files are too big for the software. It resizes them but they have to start at may be under 2MB.
