note 75194 added to function.readfile

In reply to herbert dot fischer at NOSPAM dot gmail dot com: The streams API in PHP5 tries to make things as efficient as possible; in php-5.1.6 on Linux, fpassthru is faster than 'echo fread($fp, 8192)' in a loop, and readfile is even faster for files on disk. I didn't benchmark further, but I'd be willing to bet non-mmap'able streams still win because they can loop in C instead of PHP. ---- Server IP: 216.194.113.175 Probable Submitter: 69.205.153.76 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.readfile.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/75194 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75194/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75194/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75194/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75194/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75194/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75194/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75194 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/75194 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
