PHP file handle for big files?

[etemelkuran1676]

Hi , as you know php can't handle files over 1.8 , 2 gb..
( php 5.4.6 x64, php 5.3.16 x64 ) with some functions like readfile.

Is there any way to eliminate this problem?

Hi,

This is a limitation on the PHP build. HTTP isn't really designed for really large files although there are way round it by modifying PHP itself:

Until PHP natively supports files larger than 2 GB there's not a great deal we can do from the script. Of course the other option is to split the file into smaller pieces.
