PHP Readfile() number of bytes when user aborted
- by jtnire
Hi Everyone,
I'm using a PHP script to stream a live video (i.e. a file which never ends) from a remote source. The output is viewed in VLC, not a web browser. I need to keep a count of the number of bytes transferred. Here is my code:
<?php
ignore_user_abort(true);
$stream = $_GET['stream'];
if($stream == "vid1")
{
$count = readfile('http://127.0.0.1:8080/');
logThis($count);
}
function logThis($c)
{
$myFile = "bytecount.txt";
$handle = fopen($myFile,'a');
fwrite($handle,"Count: " . $c . "\n");
fclose($handle);
}
?>
However it appears that when the user presses the stop button, logThis() is never called, even though I've put in ignore_user_abort(true);
Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks
