Track file download progress

[eluser]Dsyfa[/eluser]
Hi,

Is it possible to track the progress of a file download? So that once the download is complete, I can delete the file from the server.

Thanks

You can make a .php that reads the file and then delete it...

Code:

$target = "files/download.avi";
readfile($target);
unlink($target);

Also, you might want to check the ignore_user_abort function to avoid deleting it if the download fails.
-edit- also you should send a header before, telling the browser to download the file... something like header("content-type: application/octet-stream");
