Not surprising really since you have a syntax error (missing ")").

Yes.
srikanth, to debug such pieces of code you can simply change the header to:
header("Content-type:text/html");
and see what it says.
(Or check the rrorlog if you have one up-and-running).

The minimal code is something like
send_passport.php
-----------------
<?php
header("Content-Type: image/jpeg");
readfile("F:/Mydocuments/Certificates/Passport/Passport.jpg");
?>
<<<...and no whitespace here!!!
I mistrust using things that are designed for text strings for binary files.

Why not leave off the ?> tag?

I read somewhere Zend leaves it off in its code.
Works like a charm.

Just re-checked it, it is official, leave it off. It caused me
headaches in one project I took over, there were tons of files
included, and I always had unwanted newlines in file output.
Just omit the closing tag in php-only files, it's easier than the
ob_ functions.

If you re-checked, could you also provide us with a link to where you
found that info?

Now why should he "get a good editor" if he can omit the closing tag?

Because leaving off the close tag can cause problems later when someone
else edits the site, assuming close tags are there.
And leaving off a closing tag to get round an editor problem is just
plain sloppy programming. But we already know certain people here don't
care about that.

He has no editor problem, he can leave the closing tag off. Don't
send him off in a goose chase.

How horrible. Are people really suggesting this hard to spot (when you
dont know it) hack as a way to develop code? Leaving off closing
tags?!?!?

It's not a 'closing tag' : its a switch to tell php to drop back into
'spit out the source file raw' mode.
If you don't ever want it to do that...it seems a valid reasonable and
apparently valid-in-terms-of-the-language-as-specified way to do it.
If the spec says its intrinsic to the language, a feature, it can't be
a hack can it?
How many people add semicolons to the last line of a CSS style block
definition?

I think of it in terms of HMTL tags <?php ?>
Everything between the tags (including them) is replaced by an
PHP eval of the contents.

it's NOT a switch to tell php to drop back into some other mode...

yes, something is specified

i recently installed drupal on a (test)system
when i do this:
cd ....drupal
$ grep -lir '?>' * | wc -l
124
$ find * -name "*.php" -type f | wc -l
151
(124 files with (at-least 1) closing tag,
151 files with the extension '.php')
and not even all php-files have the '.php' extension.....
$ grep -lr '<?php' * | wc -l
1000
(1000 files with the php-opening-tag)
so, some 'programmers' seem to RELY on this behaviour ;-(

That's the reason, why this is often recommended.

Your keyboard is borken.
What exactly is your problem with avoiding the problem caused by adding the
"closing tag"? It is the *P*HP *H*ypertext *P*reprocessor. It is
*supposed* to output any character outside of <?php … ?> sections.

Sometimes, what you learn is wrong. If those wrong ideas are close to the
root of the knowledge tree you build on a particular subject, pruning the
bad branches can sometimes cause the whole tree to collapse.
