php download file slows
- by hobbywebsite
OK first off thanks for your time I wish I could give more than one point for this question.
Problem: I have some music files on my site (.mp3) and I am using a php file to increment a database to count the number of downloads and to point to the file to download. For some reason this method starts at 350kb/s then slowly drops to 5kb/s which then the file says it will take 11hrs to complete. BUT if I go directly to the .mp3 file my browser brings up a player and then I can right click and "save as" which works fine complete download in 3mins. (Yes both during the same time for those that are thinking it's my connection or ISP and its not my server either.)
So the only thing that I've been playing around with recently is the php.ini and the .htcaccess files.
So without further ado, the php file, php.ini, and the .htcaccess:
download.php
<?php
include("config.php");
include("opendb.php");
$filename = 'song_name';
$filedl = $filename . '.mp3';
$query = "UPDATE songs SET song_download=song_download+1 WHER song_linkname='$filename'";
mysql_query($query);
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='.basename($filedl));
header('Content-type: audio/mp3');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($filedl));
readfile('/music/' . $filename . '/' . $filedl);
include("closedb.php");
?>
php.ini
register_globals = off
allow_url_fopen = off
expose_php = Off
max_input_time = 60
variables_order = "EGPCS"
extension_dir = ./
upload_tmp_dir = /tmp
precision = 12
SMTP = relay-hosting.secureserver.net
url_rewriter.tags = "a=href,area=href,frame=src,input=src,form=,fieldset="

date.timezone = "America/Los_Angeles"
.htaccess
