My script opens a remote GIF file and saves it to local hard drive. When executed with Apache 2.0.40 as CGI, everything works fine.
But when I use the apache2 module version of PHP, it only reads about 20K of the GIF.
Interestingly enough, this problem doesn't appear when opening HTML files.

Please try using this CVS snapshot:

  http://snaps.php.net/php4-latest.tar.gz
 
For Windows:

also make sure you are using fopen($path, "rb");
the b is important under windows.

fopen("file.gif", "rb") didn't change anything on my version of PHP. I'll try it with the CSV snapshot though.

Nope. Snapshot wouldn't even work at all. (Module and CGI).
I get "Bad browser request" and other "internal server error".

Did you open the write filepointer in binary mode too?

Please add your script here..but if it's very long one,
provide an URL where we can see it.

I put the "b" in the other pointer and it works fine. Thanks.
It's odd that my script worked fine without it with the CGI version.

Bogussifying then
