fpassthru() works best for small files. In download manager scripts, it's best to determine the URL of the file to download (you may generate it locally in your session data if you need so), and then use HTTP __temporary__ redirects (302 status code, with a "Location:" header specifying the effective download URL). This saves your web server from maintaining PHP scripts running for long times during the file downloadn and instead the download will be managed directly by the web server without scripting support (consequence: less memory resources used by parallel downloads)... -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fpassthru.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+25085 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+25085 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+25085
