I'm displaying images from outside my web root, like this:

header('Content-type:image/png'); readfile($fullpath);

The content-type: image/png is what confuses me.

Someone else helped me out with this code, but I noticed that not all images are PNG. Many are jpg or gif.
And still they are displayed successfully.

does anyone know why?
