Hey
I have a script that I am trying to figure out to allow a remote file to
be sent to a client's browser. It works ok for small files, but it keeps
timing out for large files. I don't think it should even take as long as
it does (i.e. about 10seconds) before it pops up a dialog box for me to
download a 700KB file. Any ideas? It times out on a line around which reads
while (!feof($fp))
{
$tmp .= fread($fp, 64);
}
Well you're still reading the file (or url or something) at this point.
Is it the reading of the file or sending it to the browser that fails?
A bit of context might help for this code too. Is this reading a local
file or url or what?
If it's a local file, use fpassthru (http://php.net/fpassthru) if it's
not too big. If it is a big file then use your loop but don't store it
in a $tmp variable, just output it.
