Problem: Resize large JPG's with PHP memory limit

[Kenton Smith]

I am using a shared server and the max PHP memory limit is set at 10MB. I
can not change this. I would like to resize uploaded JPG images. I have
tried many different scripts using the GD libs, but they all do not work for
larger JPGs. I know that the limit is the max PHP memory, but is there
anything that I can do to get this to work?

ImageMagick?
Java?

Thanks

Shell out to imagemagik, such as 'convert' program and pass it the
parameters to the jpg

Yes. :)

$dir = "/my/img/dir";
system("convert -resize 400 $dir/image.jpg $dir/image_thumb.jpg ");

for example.
