PHP Programming Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Hello, I am working on a project that downloads large zip files from server, for small files the script works well and downlaod files successfully, but for larger files like currently we are trying to download a 922MB file it gives us this message (in firefox) and doesn't download any thing. " File not found Firefox can't find the file at http://www.domainname.com/abc.zip " Script to download the file is as below: " $filename = "xyz.mp3; header("Pragma: public"); header("Expires: 0"); header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0"); header("Content-Type: application/force-download"); header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream"); header("Content-Type: application/download"); header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".basename($filename).";"); header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary"); header("Content-Length: ".filesize($filename)); if( !ini_get('safe_mode') ) set_time_limit(360000000); readfile("$filename"); " Please advise what can be issue, if its file size issue then how and where can we increase the limit to solve this issue. pre-thanks, Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/247634-large-file-download-issue/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnoTheDev Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 For large files use the function passthru() <?php $path = '/full/path/to/file/'; $filename = 'xyz.mp3'; header("Pragma: public"); header("Expires: 0"); header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0"); header("Cache-Control: public"); header("Content-Description: File Transfer"); header("Content-Type: application/force-download"); header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".$filename.";"); header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary"); header("Content-Length: ".filesize($path.$filename)); passthru("cat \"$path.$filename\""); exit(); ?> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/247634-large-file-download-issue/#findComment-1271668 Share on other sites More sharing options...
