Download file as you go...

Haris · 03-15-2008, 10:07 PM

I am trying to download a 3-4 minutes youtube file. I don't want to stop the execution of the script when the file is being downloaded.

How can I do this? :)

PHP Code:


			
set_time_limit(0);

executing this function at the beginning of this script will set the execution time limit to unlimited, so it won't stop the execution.

Thus you can also set your own integer? :) In seconds I assume.

This will not overide the settings in php.ini i guess ? any takers ?

It doesn't change php.ini, see the manual for more info:
> PHP: set_time_limit - Manual

NOTE: Requires Safe_Mode off.

Cant you do

PHP Code:


			

sleep(20);

Aswell? I mean it halts the execution for a short amount of time, I guess either way is fine?
