Php file download (restricted download speed) implementation code

/*
Flush
The flush function refreshes the buffer of the php program to implement echo dynamic output.
The result of this function is that the echo output data is continuously displayed on the page.
For ($ I = 10; $ I> 0; $ I --)
{
Echo $ I. '<br/> ';
Ob_flush ();
Flush ();
Sleep (1 );
}
Ob_end_flush ();

Sleep
The sleep () function delays code execution for several seconds.
Header
The header () function sends the original http header to the client.

It is important to realize that the header () function must be called before any actual output is sent (in php 4 and later versions, you can use the output cache to solve this problem):

Filesize: get the file size.
Fread reads the file content opened by fopen
