Open "Save As" dialog on link *WORKING*

hi,
i am trying to have a link to download a jpg directly, not display it
in the browser.

i've got

<?php
if(isset($filename)):
$headertxt = "Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename=\"".$filename."\"";
header("Content-Type:
application/force-download");header($headertxt);
include("$filename");
endif;
?>

it works fine for opening an html or text files, it prompts me to save
and does so properly.
however on jpg it prompts me to save as well, but only saves


<b>Parse error</b>: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in
<b>/test.jpg</b> on line <b>93</b><br />


any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
thanks,
lisa

Perhaps you want to use fopen and fpassthru to send the jpeg
file to the user.

You should test to ensure that the file is not something you
don't want the world to see. What if a hacker invokes your
script like so?
