Downloading Files from Server-Server

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jul 19.2007

I was wondering if I could make a proxy-like system to download large files and place them on my server. Such as an .exe from another server that is >5mb big, etc. When ever I use file_get_contents, my page returns blank as if the php script cant finish downloading.

If someone could help, MUCH APPRECIATED!!

@littlenedJul 19.2007 — If you're using PHP then you'll probably need to make some changes to the php.ini file. The reason being is that PHP pleases a restriction on the length of time a PHP file can run for, after either 30 or 60 seconds anything the file is doing is stopped.

Theres something in PHP.INI called MAX_EXECUTION_TIME

You may also be able to set this information in a htaccess file depending on the version of php installed.

Try searching google for MAX_EXECUTION_TIME .htaccess

Success!
