note 52598 added to function.readfile

regarding php5: i found out that there is already a disscussion @php-dev about readfile() and fpassthru() where only exactly 2 MB will be delivered. so you may use this on php5 to get lager files <?php function readfile_chunked($filename,$retbytes=true) { $chunksize = 1*(1024*1024); // how many bytes per chunk $buffer = ''; $cnt =0; // $handle = fopen($filename, 'rb'); $handle = fopen($filename, 'rb'); if ($handle === false) { return false; } while (!feof($handle)) { $buffer = fread($handle, $chunksize); echo $buffer; if ($retbytes) { $cnt += strlen($buffer); } } $status = fclose($handle); if ($retbytes && $status) { return $cnt; // return num. bytes delivered like readfile() does. } return $status; } ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.readfile.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+52598 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52598&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52598&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52598&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52598&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52598&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+52598&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
