    The comments are correct; it’s very likely an error message that will be easily ascertained by opening the file in a text editor. I’d like to also offer that you could use the readfile function to greater effect. See the first example for some good code with headers that gives you a good download. Plus, it’ll shorten your code by a line. http://php.net/manual/en/function.readfile.php
