I am using php and readfile() to control the download of large files;
These files can be up to 1GB. There is nothing really exciting or
special about the script itself.
The problem I am running into is php is loading the entire file into
apache's memory as the file is being read - this seems quite
unnecessary. I tired it with fpassthru() as well, with the same
result.
Why is php loading the entire file into memory? Is there another/
better way to download the files (other that resorting to
mod_rewrite) that won't use up necessary memory?
thanks
- daniel
