Concatenation of files to 1 download link

[wkress]

I would like to put download links on my website that would kick-off a PHP routine that would "feed" the contents of several files. On the user end this needs to create a single downloaded file.

I'm actually concatinating several MP3 files together (same bit rate, of course) for file downloads and podCasts.

I could easily do the concatination ahead of time but it's doing it in real time that has me stumped - in effect, streaming the download.

hello, if you had to stream just one file, how would you do it in php?

Make a temporary file, fopen(), fread(), fwrite() both files to the temporary file, stream that one.

You could do it without a temporary file as well... just read and output to browser... look at the filesystem functions at www.php.net
