The readfile() functions outputs the contents of the file and returns the size of the file in bytes. So, when you assigned $result to the return value, you demonstrated that readfile() output 0 bytes (which explains why you didn't see anything). I'm pretty sure your php.ini is set to allow this, otherwise you would receive an error. I'm doubting whether that URL actually contains any content. How have you tested to be sure it does?
