i'm working on a app which output files with readfile() and some headers..
i read a comment in the manual that says if your outputting a file php will
use the same amount of memory as the size of the file. so, if the file is
100MB php will use 100MB of memory.. is this true?


I did a comparision study of readfile() and related functions you will see that results at http://www.raditha.com/wiki/Readfile_vs_include
What I discovered was that require,include() and file_get_contents() would consume more memory than the file size. Not so with readfile or fpasstru



if it is, how can i work around this?


go ahead and use readfile.
