Hi folks.
I'm trying to write a script to read details from a SQL database, insert data
into a file and download it to the user's browser. If I use the readfile
function it works, but if I use get_file_contents and echo the file doesn't
get downloaded properly. In both cases, Mozilla opens oowriter, but with
readfile the document appears correctly, while with get_file_contents/echo it
show the rich text code.
Anyone any ideas?

if (!$dets['o_id']) {
echo "Order Details Missing";
exit;
}
$contents=file_get_contents("/home/httpd/files/$fname");
if ($contents == false) {

header("Content-Type: text/rtf");
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="delivery_note.rtf"');
#readfile("/home/httpd/files/$fname");
echo $contents;
