benrolfe / itunes-byte-request.php
Last active July 10, 2018 21:40
iTunes have recently requested that podcast downloads accept "byte range requests". This PHP code below will set the correct headers and serve up the MP3 file. Set $file_path to the path of the MP3 file. See http://blog.unit6websites.com/post/48778214025/byte-range-requests
<?php
$fp = @fopen( $file_path, 'rb' );
$size = filesize( $file_path );
$length = $size;
$start = 0;
$end = $size - 1;
header( "Accept-Ranges: 0-$length" );

benrolfe / run-background-process.php
Last active December 16, 2015 20:48
We've been working on a project recently where we wanted to run a background CLI script that gets fired from PHP. For example, a user presses a button on your frontend interface that fires off a PHP script that runs in the background for a while. The user can then continue using the site, rather than waiting for the script to finish. You’ll need…
function run_background_process( $file )
{
if ( is_windows() )
{
// create command object
$objShell = new COM( 'WScript.Shell' );
// run windows command
$objShell->Run(
$strCommand = sprintf( 'php %s.php', $file ),
