Re: problem with file_get_contents?

Guess it takes PHP so long to fetch the data from the file. Try to put the function file_get_contents() after the header-modification.
Don't know if thats the problem but tell me anyway if it worked or not.

Re: problem with file_get_contents?

It depends on the site that you are trying to retrieve content. If the site is loading slow, then it can affect on your retrieval of content.

@sDJH, its same slow loading.

I tried replacing the function file_get_contents with readfile, its working fast and fine on firefox but however on iex its downloading 0bytes file.
