Hi all, I want a php page to 'display' a pdf. Here is the code:

<?php
  header("Content-type: application/pdf");
  readfile('Reportage - Berlin.pdf');  //tried echo(readfile(...)) as well
?>

Not very complicated I think, but somehow firefox cant detect that this is a pdf. This works in Safari but in firefox, i get a prompt to download the file, so i get like a pdftest.php file. I know im getting my file because if I rename the extension to pdf, i can open it.

This seems too simple! am i missing something?
