If you want to force download large files, you will not fall into memory_limit with this script : if (!is_file($file)) { die("<b>404 File not found!</b>"); } $len = filesize($file); $filename = basename($file); $file_extension = strtolower(substr(strrchr($filename,"."),1)); header('Content-type: application/force-download'); header('Pragma: public'); header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0'); header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="' . $filename . '"'); header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary'); header('Content-Length: '.$len); header('Location: '.$file); $chunksize = 1*(1024*1024); // how many bytes per chunk $buffer = ''; $handle = fopen($file, 'rb'); if ($handle === false) { die("Handle not received"); } while (!feof($handle)) { $buffer = fread($handle, $chunksize); echo $buffer; flush(); } exit; ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+56304 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56304&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56304&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56304&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56304&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56304&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56304&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+56304&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
