How can PHP be used to monitor and detect when a download process is completed?

To monitor and detect when a download process is completed using PHP, you can use the `file_exists()` function in a loop to check if the downloaded file exists. Once the file is detected, you can then proceed with further actions or notifications. 

$downloaded_file = 'path/to/downloaded/file.zip';

while (!file_exists($downloaded_file)) {
    // Check if the downloaded file exists
    // You can add a delay here to avoid continuous checking
    sleep(1);
}

// Once the file is detected, proceed with further actions
echo 'Download process completed!';
