readfile works by reading in the whole file at once - if you don't

You don't need anything complicated, or am I misunderstanding the
question which is more likely..
$size = 1048576; // 1Meg.
$fp = fopen($big_file1, 'rb');
while(!feof($fp)) {
$data = fgets($fp, $size);
echo $data;
}
fclose($fp);

Will 'echo' block until the client has consumed the whole $size amount
of data? If not, how fast will your while loop execute? If
file_size($big_file1) exceeds 1 TB, does your server end up sucking up
all available memory? Or does PHP crash after hitting a memory limit?
