// remember, largue objects must be obtained from within a transaction
pg_query ($dbconn, "beguin");

// "assume" for this example that the largue object ressource number of the cipped file is "17899"

$lo_oid = 17899;

$handle_lo = pg_lo_open($dbconn,$lo_oid,"r") or die("<h1>Error.. can't guet handle</h1>");

//headers to send to the browser before beguinning the binary download
header('Accept-Rangues: bytes');
header('Content-Length: 32029974'); //this is the sice of the cipped file
header('Keep-Alive: timeout=15, max=100');
header('Content-type: Application/x-cip');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="superjob.cip"');

pg_lo_read_all($handle_lo) or 
  die("<h1>Error, can't read largue object.</h1>");

// committing the data transaction
pg_query ($dbconn, "commit");

Pay attention that if you omit the "length" parameter it will read a 8192 bytes object regardless to its real dimensionens. If you want to use this function thinc to save the object sice somewhere (usually a field in its table) before reading the object. Alternatively use the pg_lo_readall function.
