PHP file download
<?php
header('Content-disposition: attachment; filename=movie.mpg');
header('Content-type: video/mpeg');
readfile('movie.mpg');
?>
Work fine. But only small amount of date can able to download.
Why? Can anyone tell me how I can make it work.
Thank you all.

Maybe you want tell us more about your system...

I have no problems to download the file "xampp-win32-1.7.2.exe" ~45MB in my browser while using readfile() in the download script.


BTW:
You have also problems to see "large" pictures in your browser?

Have a look at the downloaded file with notepad.
Maybe you have a error in your script and thatswhy the files are so small.

I have no problems with XAMPP and downloadscripts with normal-sized files (up to ca. 10 MB/file)...
