Re: readfile() memory usage

Hi, Everyone FYI: If you just want to check something before serving a file to the client, you can also use something called xsendfile. Apache: https://tn123.org/mod_xsendfile/ lighttpd: It's build in :) nginx: http://wiki.nginx.org/XSendfile Idea: Do what you're doing in your php-script and add the header "X-Sendfile: $yourFile" (nginx is using another header). This header will trigger the plugin and the webserver will serve the file instead of your php-process. I personally use it on my webserver and it works quite fine. Debian has a compiled package called libapache2-mod-xsendfile in version 0.9 Bye Simon On Fri, May 4, 2012 at 2:33 PM, Paul Reinheimer <preinheimer@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi Everyone > > >> So, I think we're back to "urban legend" territory. > > I've updated the documentation for readfile() to help send more people > down the path of checking for output buffering, and disabling that > rather than contriving loops with fread(). > > http://docs.php.net/readfile > > > > paul > > > -- > Paul Reinheimer > > -- > PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php >
