PHP handles large file downloads

Idea: While PHP reads the file, ​​it outputs the read content to the browser

<?php
/**
 * Created by PhpStorm.
 * User: Kung
 * Date: 15-10-21
 * Time: 下午8:00
 */
set_time_limit(0);  //大文件在读取内容未结束时会被超时处理，导致下载文件不全。

$fpath = 'the_file_path';
$file_pathinfo = pathinfo($fpath);
$file_name = $file_pathinfo['basename'];
$file_extension = $file_pathinfo['extension'];
$handle = fopen($fpath,"rb");
if (FALSE === $handle)
    exit("Failed to open the file");
$filesize = filesize($fpath);

header("Content-type:video/mpeg4");//更具不同的文件类型设置header输出类型
header("Accept-Ranges:bytes");
header("Accept-Length:".$filesize);
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".$file_name);

$contents = '';
while (!feof($handle)) {
    $contents = fread($handle, 8192);
    echo $contents;
    @ob_flush();  //把数据从PHP的缓冲中释放出来
    flush();      //把被释放出来的数据发送到浏览器
}
fclose($handle);
exit;

The above introduces PHP's processing of large file downloads, including the content of reading files. I hope it will be helpful to friends who are interested in PHP tutorials.
