Re: how to stream a movie file with fread [success] Now, how to do a fast encrypt ?

Ok, I got it :) Is there a better way to do a very fast encryption of a file for a key that changes daily ? The movie is loading and playing at the same time [progressive/rtsp], so the encrypt/decrypt needs to be pretty fast I tried mcrypt but it seemed way to slow.... Maybe there is a better encryption method ? Or, are there better characters to search/replace ? Does not have to be ultra secure...just needs to be encryption that could last a day or so...as it will change daily. When I run this, the movie plays, but shows a blank screen and plays no audio...which is exactly what I want :) I want to write a data handler on the user side that connects to a db and gets the $find and $replace keys to unlock the movie many thanks in advance...and yes, I am experimenting <?php $fileSize = filesize($filepath); header("ETag: ".md5(time())); header("Accept-Ranges: bytes"); header ("Content-Length: ".$fileSize); header('Content-Type: video/quicktime'); $find = array("{","ፀ","k","?"); $replace = array("q","m","g","&");

    if( $fd  = fopen($filepath, 'rb')){
     while(!feof($fd)) {

echo str_replace($find,$replace, fread($fd, 8192));

     }
     fclose ($fd);
     exit;

I am trying to stream a movie file with 'fread' this my first step in trying to dynamically encrypt the file as it is being streamed from the server do I need to fread the data in chunks? If so, how? $filename ="$path2file"; $file = fopen($filename,'r'); $fileSize = filesize($filename); $ContentType = " video/quicktime"; header ("Content-type: $ContentType"); header ("Content-length: $fileSize"); while( $filedata_temp = fread($file, $fileSize) ) echo $filedata_temp; <b>Fatal error</b>: Allowed memory size of 16777216 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 24113191 bytes) in <b>xxxxxxxx/fopenTest.php</b> on line <b>27</b><br /> BTW, I can get readfile to work just fine :) AFAIK, readfile does not parameters to alter the file contents many thanks :) g -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
