I am a newbie in php and making a script were i need to count the bandwidth downloaded from my users .
i have to store some file of my users and provide them a resumable download support to them but also count how much bandwidth downloaded and who have downloaded .


function output_file($file, $name, $mime_type=''){
 /*
 This function takes a path to a file to output ($file), 
 the filename that the browser will see ($name) and 
 the MIME type of the file ($mime_type, optional).

If you want to do something on download abort/finish, register_shutdown_function('function_name'); */ if(!is_readable($file)) die('File not found or inaccessible!');

$size = filesize($file); $name = rawurldecode($name);

/* Figure out the MIME type (if not specified) */ $known_mime_types=array( "pdf" => "application/pdf", "txt" => "text/plain", "html" => "text/html", "htm" => "text/html", "exe" => "application/octet-stream", "zip" => "application/zip", "doc" => "application/msword", "xls" => "application/vnd.ms-excel", "ppt" => "application/vnd.ms-powerpoint", "gif" => "image/gif", "png" => "image/png", "jpeg"=> "image/jpg", "jpg" => "image/jpg", "php" => "text/plain" );

if($mime_type==''){ $file_extension = strtolower(substr(strrchr($file,"."),1)); if(array_key_exists($file_extension, $known_mime_types)){ $mime_type=$known_mime_types[$file_extension]; } else { $mime_type="application/force-download"; }; };

@ob_end_clean(); //turn off output buffering to decrease cpu usage

// required for IE, otherwise Content-Disposition may be ignored if(ini_get('zlib.output_compression')) ini_set('zlib.output_compression', 'Off');

header('Content-Type: ' . $mime_type); header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.$name.'"'); header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary"); header('Accept-Ranges: bytes');

/* The three lines below basically make the download non-cacheable */ header("Cache-control: private"); header('Pragma: private'); header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT");

// multipart-download and download resuming support if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_RANGE'])) { list($a, $range) = explode("=",$_SERVER['HTTP_RANGE'],2); list($range) = explode(",",$range,2); list($range, $range_end) = explode("-", $range); $range=intval($range); if(!$range_end) { $range_end=$size-1; } else { $range_end=intval($range_end); }

$new_length = $range_end-$range+1;
header("HTTP/1.1 206 Partial Content");
header("Content-Length: $new_length");
header("Content-Range: bytes $range-$range_end/$size");

} else {
$new_length=$size;
header("Content-Length: ".$size);
}

/* output the file itself /
$chunksize = 1
(1024*1024); //you may want to change this
$bytes_send = 0;
if ($file = fopen($file, 'r'))
{
if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_RANGE']))
fseek($file, $range);

while(!feof($file) && 
    (!connection_aborted()) && 
    ($bytes_send<$new_length)
      )
{
    $buffer = fread($file, $chunksize);
    print($buffer); //echo($buffer); // is also possible
    flush();
    $bytes_send += strlen($buffer);
}

fclose($file);
} else die('Error - can not open file.');

die();
}

if($_REQUEST['d']){
$hk = $_REQUEST['d'];
output_file('files/'.$_COOKIE['acc_inf'].'/'.$hk,$hk);
}

?>

Now , for example if a user named "john" uploaded 1 file name "test.rar" (2 GB ) now hw wants to download it

then http://exaple.com/download.php?d=test.rar the file exists on folder named john/test.rar that was ok .
