RE: [PHP] Trouble sending an image's contents as output using header Content-Type...

Maybe there's an error with _generateThumbnail() ?
Do you know for certain that _generateThumbnail() works okay ?

Hi all:

I have a page with a img tag:
<img src="/getthumbnail.php?fileid=12230983">

The script getthumbnail.php searchs for a thumbnail of the specified image
id; if not thumbnail exists, the script creates one; and then using
readfile() and header() functions flushes it contents to the browser. But it
fails.

The code is very simple:

header('Content-Type: image/jpeg'); // I'm testing with JPEGs

// If the thumbnails exists (or it gets generated this time)
if ($path = _generateThumbnail($_GET['fileid']))
@readfile($path);
else
@readfile(GENERIC_THUMBNAIL); // A constant to a generic icon

Any tips?

I do; it works correctly, the returned path exists. I also tested sending
the Content-Length header and it didn't work either.
