Hello,

I need to open a file with more than 2GB but the following error occurs:

failed to open stream: Value too large for defined data type in
/srv/www/sandboxes/dev02/test.php on line 2

I'm running this php in a 32 bits system.

Googling I found that with the option
"CFLAGS="-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64"" the problem can be solved.

Will I have this issue in a 64 bits System?

Is there some recognized solution for this issue?

Thanks.

32-bit PHP has quite a few problems with large files. I ran into an odd
one where I couldn't even get the dates from a file that was over 2GB! I
think you may be running into something similar here, where some value
that is needed to work with the file is going over the maximum that
32-bit can handle. 64-bit should fix the problem, but if you're in
doubt, you could try testing it on a VM first?

Thanks,
Ash
