PHP Image Resize Fatal error: Out of memory

Question

I have following PHP code that resizes my pictures to desired size:

/* POSTER - resize */
                $remote_file = $castImages[$name];
                $new_width  = 296;
                $new_height = 436;
                list($width, $height) = getimagesize($remote_file);
                $image_p = imagecreatetruecolor($new_width, $new_height);
                $image = imagecreatefromjpeg($remote_file);
                imagecopyresampled($image_p, $image, 0, 0, 0, 0, $new_width, $new_height, $width, $height);
                imagejpeg($image_p, '../glumci/'.$name.' BIG.jpg', 100);
                $new_width  = 74;
                $new_height = 109;
                list($width, $height) = getimagesize($remote_file);
                $image_p = imagecreatetruecolor($new_width, $new_height);
                $image = imagecreatefromjpeg($remote_file);
                imagecopyresampled($image_p, $image, 0, 0, 0, 0, $new_width, $new_height, $width, $height);
                imagejpeg($image_p, '../glumci/'.$name.'.jpg', 100);
                imagedestroy($image_p);
                imagedestroy($image);

I have around 5500 pictures to be resizes, so i run this code into the while loop and get this error from PHP:

Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 473956352) (tried to allocate 27263000 bytes) in D:\portal_ONLINE\UwAmp\www\inc\test.php on line 54

I then add in PHP script this code:

ini_set('memory_limit', '-1');

But i receive same error message..so how to fix this error so that script rename all 5500pictures not just 50 and throw this error?

After help from members from above replay answers i got finnaly working code:

/* POSTER - resize */
            $remote_file = $castImages[$name];
            $new_width  = 296;
            $new_height = 436;
            list($width, $height) = getimagesize($remote_file);
            $image_p = imagecreatetruecolor($new_width, $new_height);
            $image = imagecreatefromjpeg($remote_file);
            imagecopyresampled($image_p, $image, 0, 0, 0, 0, $new_width, $new_height, $width, $height);
            imagejpeg($image_p, '../glumci/'.$name.' BIG.jpg', 100);
            $image_p = null;
            $image = null;

            $new_width  = 74;
            $new_height = 109;
            list($width, $height) = getimagesize($remote_file);
            $image_p = imagecreatetruecolor($new_width, $new_height);
            $image = imagecreatefromjpeg($remote_file);
            imagecopyresampled($image_p, $image, 0, 0, 0, 0, $new_width, $new_height, $width, $height);
            imagejpeg($image_p, '../glumci/'.$name.'.jpg', 100);
            imagedestroy($image_p);
            imagedestroy($image);
            $image_p = null;
            $image = null;

Using:

$image_p = null;
$image = null;

It works now about 20minutes and script is working and not trowing error message.
