 * I just started getting this on two WP sites yesterday when uploading:
 * Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate
   750 bytes) in /home/sustaina/public_html/wp/wp-admin/admin-functions.php on line
   2153
 * This is line 2153:
    $image = imagecreatefromjpeg( $file );
 * I can’t find where imagecreatefromjpeg is defined. Any ideas? It is uploading
   the image but it’s not creating a thumbnail and the error makes it tricky to 
   get back to the uploaded files.

 * imagecreatefromjpeg() is a native PHP function .. its not defined anywhere within
   WordPress.
 * This, and similar errors are covered already extensively in the forums.
 * perhaps reading through this will help:

 * Thanks! It does look like maybe my php limit for the month has been reached.
