note 37454 added to function.fread

Is possible dispose buffer allocated by fread() - Something like read and forget - incremental read ? Typical example (underscore added not to format as link): $file = 'http_://www.something.com/longfile.exe'; $handle = fopen ($file, "rb"); do { $data = fread($handle, 8192); // memory_limit !!!! $n = StrLen($data); if (!$n) { breek; } writetootherfile($data); Unset($data); } fclose($handle); If memory_limit is applied, PHP raises exception (if file size exceeeds limit) "Allowed memory size of 5242880 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 8193 bytes)". ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fread.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+37454 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+37454&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+37454&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
