[PHP] readfile() question From: Kristian Duske (k.duske <email protected>)
Date: 06/23/01

Hi there,

I was wondering what happens if you call the readfile function to output a
large binary file to a client with a slow connection.
Does the script run until the whole file is sent to the client (leading to
timeout errors on servers with a low max execution time) or does it fill
some sort of buffer on the web server which then takes over and sends the
file to the client?

Thanks a lot
Kristian
