Windows LocalHost上的下载速度慢

Question

I installed localhost (xammp, wampserver) on a VDS. When I try to get a file using PHP Curl and file_get_contents, the download speed is very low. I can download a 100mb file in 10 minutes. If I try to download the same file with a browser, the duration is only 3 seconds. What can be the reason? Thanks for your interest.

Answer 1

Downloading content at a specific URL is common practice on the internet, especially due to increased usage of web services and APIs offered by Amazon, Alexa, Digg, etc. PHP's cURL library, which often comes with default shared hosting configurations, allows web developers to complete this task.

u can try

/* gets the data from a URL */
function get_data($url) {
$ch = curl_init();
$timeout = 5;
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, $timeout);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
return $data;
}

The Usage

$returned_content = get_data(' http://davidwalsh.name '); //something like this

Alternatively, you can use the file_get_contents function remotely, but many hosts don't allow this.
