// send the right headers
header("Content-Type: image/png");
header("Content-Length: " . filesize($name));

// dump the picture and stop the script
fpassthru($fp);
exit;

?>

Opmerking: > When using on a binary file on Windows systems, you should make sure to open the file in binary mode by appending a to the mode used in the call to . fpassthru``b``fopen
