[php] readfile() function question

[Johannes de Le?n]

I would like to know if the readfile() funtion, while reading from some other website, if it sends the file directly to the user or if it parses it first.

I own two websites. One without php, only has 50 mb but unlimited bandwidth, so I would like to store some images there, and then be accessed by a php script that randomizes wich picture to show, and then show it in my other webhost supporting php, but with limited bandwidth.

I would prefer to use the readfile() in order to hide the real address of the picture.

Help, anyone?

Thanks in advance.

I use readfile to stream huge video files to users specifically because it doesn't parse it

Awesome,thank you very much. So this will not be wasting any bandwidth in my main host, right?

Really nice then. Thank you very much.
