[Xerte-dev] Re: example_zipper issue revisited

[Smith, John]

All i know Dave is that, with the commented code uncommented, my system couldn't download a 56Mb an 79Mb zip but with this code 79Mb came down no problem.

We may have to use what we have access to on different systems. There may be a similar way to pipe the result into windows or we fall back to the old code and crank the memory requirements up yo 300Mb which not everyone can most likely do anyway...

Uses the unix command zip and pipes the stream back into PHP in 8192 chunks

Also, might not work on Windows...

So therefore it's not worth using?


Technically there is no benefit to doing the fread(....) over a fpassthru(...)
fpassthru does something like 8192 chunks internally.
