What to do with PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size exhausted?

Question

PHP

Good day, comrades! Please tell me, I ran into a problem, before that there was no such thing. I made a site on opencart 2.3, everything opens perfectly on the local computer, quickly and without problems. I started transferring to hosting - problems started, namely:
The site constantly crashes, and the error log gives
PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 33072 bytes) in /home/c/cw1709/public_html/system/library /image.php on line 26
Judging by what was written, I concluded that there was not enough memory because of the huge stupid pictures (the client insisted that they be huge and without loss of quality) that weighed from 2 to 8 meters. I started to shrink pictures, shrunk everything to 150kb-800kb. In theory, this is already a real size. The site has a total of 140 products, each with one picture. The site began to work better, but sometimes it still crashes with this error. I wrote to the hoster with a request to increase the memory_limit memory - he said that he should not roll his lips. How to get out of this situation? only 140 items, what if there were 5000?

Answer 1

try changing memory_limit via htaccess. If it doesn't work, fuck the hoster
