Re: [PHP] Downloading Large (100M+) Files

[Robin Getz]

OK, I checked things out, and based on some private emails, and pointers, 
from Francisco M. Marzoa [EMAIL PROTECTED], I have now

replaced:
   readfile($name);
with:
    while(!feof($fp)) {
        $buf = fread($fp, 4096);
        echo $buf;
        $bytesSent+=strlen($buf);    /* We know how many bytes were sent 
to the user */
    }

I restarted apache (to free all the memory), and we will see how it goes 
overnight.

BTW - output buffering is turned OFF. ob_get_level() returns 0, but both 
functions readfile and fpassthru seem to allocate memory (and never 
release) the size of the file.
