How can PHP's register_shutdown_function be utilized to handle post-download actions effectively?

When downloading files in PHP, it is important to handle any post-download actions effectively, such as logging, cleanup, or notifications. One way to achieve this is by using PHP's register_shutdown_function to register a callback function that will be executed after the script finishes, regardless of whether the download was successful or not. 

// Function to handle post-download actions
function handlePostDownloadActions() {
    // Perform any necessary post-download actions here
    // For example: logging, cleanup, notifications
}

// Register the callback function to be executed on shutdown
register_shutdown_function('handlePostDownloadActions');

// Code for downloading the file goes here
// Make sure to include appropriate download logic
