Description:
------------
I've got a big problem. I use the readfile function for share any files over the webserver. I use it, because I need user authentication.
It works nice with small files.

Actual result:
--------------
The problem is that. PHP will load the hole file from the harddisc into the memory. If I use the fpassthru function, the memory will be freed, but PHP use the hole memory for buffering.

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

no surprises here, the function uses mmap.
