I have used following code to generate zip
// push to download the zip header('Content-type: application/zip'); header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.$zip_name.'"'); readfile($zip_name); this code works fine but for unknown reasons was not working until I tried
// push to download the zip header('Content-type: application/zip'); header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.$zip_name.'"'); echo file_get_contents($zip_name); I am curious about finding what is happening in both the cases

This is old topic but on my last test on one my API, cURL is faster and more stable. Sometimes file_get_contents on larger request need over 5 seconds when cURL need only from 1.4 to 1.9 seconds what is double faster.
file — Reads entire file contents into an array of lines. file_get_contents — Reads entire file contents into a string.
The file_get_contents() reads a file into a string. This function is the preferred way to read the contents of a file into a string. It will use memory mapping techniques, if this is supported by the server, to enhance performance.
Readfile will read the file directly into the output buffer, and file_get_contents will load the file into memory, when you echo the result the data is copied from memory to the output buffer effectively using 2 times the memory of readfile.
