IMPORTANT NOTICE! If ou have an upload system on your site or any other sort of script which lets outsiders put images on your server then beware.
They can easily crash your visitors computer by uploading an image which has huge sizes like 999999. If the browser dispalys that image, Windows will try to reserve too much memory and will go into a Blue Screen

999kb? woah.. lol
with PHP you can set the time in which php would process a file being uploaded (in seconds) and you can also check the filesize of the file once its uploaded, if you don't add either of these in, then you almost deserve to crash peoples websites

Well who in their right mind would allow outsiders to upload and it cannot be a very good script if you cannot set file size restrictions
I guess this happened to you?

99999 in height and width is hard to handle on many computers unless u spent thousands on yours and/or customized, alot wont save for memory purposes.
