If anyone wants to check it to make sure I am not saying anything grotesquely wrong before I posted it, that would be much appreciated. :-) It's set to world-commentable: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qfe4OUc5lbuoSZFUh6NZYP-6pbaiquxnOFwN_oBccBI/edit --Larry GarfieldHi All,It sounds like it. In that case the memory spike is happening in the output buffer, where the file is streamed into by readfile() in 8K chunks until the output buffer explodes. :-) So, I think we're back to "urban legend" territory. --Larry GarfieldUnfortunately, you've ignored Uwe's e-mail... The problem is not the PHP version; the problem is that you're buffering unlimited amounts of data. Check your configuration and make sure ob_get_level() returns 0.My apologies in the delay, ob_get_level() returns 1, good catch. phpinfo() reports output_buffering as 4096 Does this push what I'm getting into expected behaviour? paul
