Reason for image size limitation?

[syeager]

I am just curious what is causing this problem.  This is NOT support question.  I installed Coppermine on typical Linux hosting account.  Everything works fine, but I can't batch add large images uploaded by FTP.  They say it's server side PHP memory limitation.  However it creates thumbnail images in the same directory.  And there are no error messages.  I wander what exactly fails.  What function?  Anyone knows?

If you expect answers, then it's a support question. Do you want a supporter to move your thread, i.e. do you want answers?

I got my answer in support and I figured it won't work anyway because of my server configuration limits that I can't change.  And you closed that thread.   So I decided not to bother anyone there anymore as I got my answer - it can't be fixed, unless I change server config.

And this is just curiosity about why it's happening.  Not really important.  I posted it here in hopes that may be someone who knows the internals can tell what fails exactly and why.

Creating the intermediate pics requires more memory than you have available.
