You need to quote the filename (would read "imagetif" if unquoted), and put a semicolon after the assignment. $filename = 'image.tif'; $file = fopen($filename,rb); // don't need quotes here if ($file) { // should always check if the file exists Header("Content-type: image/tiff"); fpassthru($file); fclose($file); } Using this sequence will send the MIME header only if the file is available and could be opened. -- >O Ernest E.
