PHP Simple File Downloader
==========================

[](#php-simple-file-downloader)

A lightweight, robust PHP library for sending files to the browser as a download. It handles MIME types, output buffering, and memory management for you.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- **Automatic MIME Type Detection**: Uses the `skyzyx/mimetypes` component to correctly identify file types.
- **Buffer Management**: Automatically clears all output buffers and disables compression to prevent corrupted binary downloads.
- **Resource Efficient**: Uses file pointers and streams, making it suitable for serving large files without hitting memory limits.
- **Flexible Sources**: Create downloads from existing files or directly from raw strings (e.g., dynamic CSV/logs).

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Install the package via Composer:

```
composer require rndoom04/downloader
```
