Please see Bug #19886. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-13 08:52:31] spic@php.net Reopened this bug. readfile() on 4.0, 4.2.4-dev and latest CVS-snapshot (13-Oct-2002 03:27) won't work with large files in Windows. Even $ptfp=fopen($ipoc_passthru_fn,"rb"); while(!feof($ptfp)) { print fread($ptfp,4096); } fclose($ptfp); won't work. Files <100k work fine, larger don't. This error is reproductive on various computers with different Windows-Systems and occurs while trying to pass through PDF-files. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-06 20:56:44] nicos@php.net This bug has been fixed in CVS. In case this was a PHP problem, snapshots of the sources are packaged every three hours; this change will be in the next snapshot. You can grab the snapshot at http://snaps.php.net/. In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up soon at http://www.php.net/manual/. In case this was a PHP.net website problem, the change will show up on the PHP.net site and on the mirror sites in short time. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-06 20:28:21] nicos@php.net This bug looks really important. I dont know if it is because of the new handling of streams but I just verified that its working with PHP4.2.3 and not wit h 4_3 latest. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-06 14:14:32] nicos@php.net on some of my code I use the following: $fd=fopen($filename,"rb"); echo fread($fd,filesize($filename)); fclose($fd); It looks fread is limited to a certain value. I can't get more than a certain size. With bigs files, I dont get all of them but just a part so I had to use fgets. Can someone check if something changed on the fread()'s function that would limit it? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=19783&edit=1
