actually my Q is how to send this file from any byte that i want for example 5 to end or 3 to 10 or ...
You can download a chunk of the file by reading the file into a variable and then writing a substring. So replace readfile($filename);
with:
$contents = file_get_contents($filename);
echo substr($contents, $start, $length);
You'll also need to adjust the Content-length:
:
header("Content-Length: " . min(filesize($filename)-$start, $length));
There's nothing you can do to automatically merge them. You can only download one file at a time, and the user will have to do that by hand after they download all the pieces.
