File downloading as attachment.php

The readfile is always completed even if it exceed the default 30 seconds limit, then the script is aborted. Be warned that you can get very odd behaviour not only on large files, but also on small files if the user has a slow connection.

To use readfile it is absolutely necessary to set the mime-type before. If you are using an Apache, it's quite simple to figure out the correct mime type. Apache has a file called "mime. Cheers Philipp Heckel. Elliott Brueggeman What's the point of a user's settings if not to determine their environment? If they have it set a specific way, honor their setting. I didn't benchmark further, but I'd be willing to bet non-mmap'able streams still win because they can loop in C instead of PHP. I wasted days trying to figure this out before I found the problem was easily solved.

I'm sure many of you out there have had similar problem when trying to use readfile to output images with a php file as the "src" of a "img" tag. It works fine "as is" in Firefox but not in IE, Safari or g.

It would be truly sad for me if an article about avoiding common PHP errors contained errors itself. Regardless, my point stands: PHP makes it easy to hack together code that appears to be working, but developers should read and adhere to the official specifications.

Great post. Im having issues though. Im trying to get the remote files with using headers but it kills the ability for the user to be able to stream the podcast.

BTW I found this post that was exactly what i needed and works great! It sends a bogus error if the range is not accepted and sends the full file size as the content length rather than just the length of the range. Now, browsers are probably coded to cope with all sorts of errors, but we should strive to write correct code, not just working code. This method works for now and I plane to develop a better functioning version of this.
