Trying to Download large file with php file

I am trying to download a large file using the script below. The file downloads, but its named 'download' and the file extension is missing. How can I modify the code below so that the original file name and extension is preserved ? Also is there anyway to automatically detect the mime type and include that as well ?

Thanks a lot in advance.

       $path = 'public/Uploads/Films/files/Crank2006.avi';


    $size=filesize($path);

    $fm=@fopen($path,'rb');
    if(!$fm) {
      // You can also redirect here
      header ("HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found");
      die();
    }

    $begin=0;
    $end=$size;

    if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_RANGE'])) {
      if(preg_match('/bytes=\h*(\d+)-(\d*)[\D.*]?/i', $_SERVER['HTTP_RANGE'], $matches)) {
        $begin=intval($matches[0]);
        if(!empty($matches[1])) {
          $end=intval($matches[1]);
        }
      }
    }

    if($begin>0||$end<$size)
      header('HTTP/1.0 206 Partial Content');
    else
      header('HTTP/1.0 200 OK');

    header("Content-Type: video/avi");
    header('Accept-Ranges: bytes');
    header('Content-Length:'.($end-$begin));
    header("Content-Disposition: inline;");
    header("Content-Range: bytes $begin-$end/$size");
    header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary\n");
    header('Connection: close');

    $cur=$begin;
    fseek($fm,$begin,0);

    while(!feof($fm)&&$cur<$end&&(connection_status()==0))
    { print fread($fm,min(1024*16,$end-$cur));
      $cur+=1024*16;
      usleep(1000);
    }
    die();

Try Something Like Below

$file='test.pdf' //File to download with Large Size
if (file_exists($file)) {
    header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
    header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
    header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='.basename($file));
    header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
    header('Expires: 0');
    header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0');
    header('Pragma: public');
    header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($file));
    ob_clean();
    flush();
    readfile('backup/'.$file);
    return 1;
} else {
    return 0;
}

In Content Disposition header you need to specify file name

$file_url = 'what you want to set'
header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=\"" . $file_url. "\"");

A good tutorial on forced download php here.

For mime type see the following SO post

Just do this below the $path

$path = 'public/Uploads/Films/files/Crank2006.avi';
$filename = array_pop(explode('/',$path)); // Grabbing the filename ... it will be Crank2006.avi

and add the header with filename to your existing headers.

header("Content-disposition: filename=$filename");

EDIT:

Detecting MIME type...

$finfo = finfo_open(FILEINFO_MIME_TYPE);
echo finfo_file($finfo, $filename);
