loading object tag src dynamically

[billybob]

I wonder how to load data into an object via php like so:

<OBJECT ...>
<PARAM NAME="SRC" VALUE=loaddata.php?data=thefile.xyz >;
</OBJECT>

Whereas the loaddata.php reads the file from a certain directory.
The problem is,if the reading method in the loaddata.php

is, for instance, readfile($_GET['data']), the data are read as binary and the Object is not displayed.

Is there any other to read the VALUE via php ?

Thanks.

the data are read as binary and the Object is not displayed

loaddata.php needs to tell browser what type of data content that is, for example if that was an .swf or a .jgp you need to send header that the content i am sending is .swf or an image.

For example

<?php
header('Content-type: application/pdf');
readfile('original.pdf');
?>

Then it should work ;)

Thank you.
Your advice made me recognize (after 3 hours...) that i had set the wrong MIME type.
