A bit more testing showed, that PHP is NOT capable of opening files >2GB! This problem also occurs on PHP4! Reproduce code: --------------- 1. Create a file that is BIGGER THAN 2GB! 2. And then: error_reporting(E_ALL); $fp=fopen($filename); Expected result: ---------------- PHP should open the damn file! *g* ;-) Actual result: -------------- <br /> <b>Warning</b>: fopen(./backup_1126490350.tar.gz): failed to open stream: File too large in <b>/root/backup/fopentest.php</b> on line <b>30</b><br /> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=34485&edit=1
