Why is this not working?

Ive got this simple code:

$id="info.gif";
$file = '/home/server/files/76/'.$id;

header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-Type: application/force-download');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($filename));
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=' . basename($file));
readfile($file);

It seems to find the file fine, but it prints out the entire contents.

If I put

$file = '/home/server/files/76/info.gif";

it works fine.

Anyone?

Both of them should have worked, since it's actually the exact same thing.

This is the code I have used for this:

$id="info.gif";
$file = "/home/server/files/76/".$id;

$mimetype = "image/gif"; // You should have a switch() block which sets the mimetype for different extensions.
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
header("Content-Type: ".$mimetype);
header("Content-Length: ".filesize($filename));
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$id\"");

try this....

$id="info.gif";
$file = '/home/server/files/76/'.$id;

header("Pragma: public"); // required
header("Expires: 0");
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-Type: image/gif');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($file));
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'. basename($file)."\"");
readfile($file);
exit();
