Re: handling large files w/readfile

well, i really can't confirm what your seeing. but that is why i orginally started this topic. i will do some tests.. are you setting headers before output? i just ran into another problem.. when downloading a .tar file it just returns an empty .tar file.. seems to work fine with .exe, .zip, tar.gz, but not .tar any ideas? this is what im using: header('Content-type: application/octet-stream'); header('Expires: ' . gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s') . ' GMT'); header('Content-transfer-encoding: binary'); header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="' . $file['type'] . '"'); header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($file['path'] . $file['type'])); header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0'); ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robin Getz" <rgetz@blackfin.uclinux.org> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Saturday, January 01, 2005 9:38 PM Subject: RE: [PHP] handling large files w/readfile > Robin Getz wrote: > >My next experiment is: > >============================ > >$buff = "0"; > >while (!feof($fp)) { > > $buff = fread($fp, 4096); > > print $buff; > >} > >unset($buff); > >fclose ($fp); > >============================ > > Nope that doesn't work either - came back, and saw apache processes that > were +450Meg.
