Problem with content/type: image/jpeg in IE

Question

let's assume i have some.jpg file. I have a problem when try to do the following

$data   = file_get_contents(path/to/my/some.jpg);
header('Content-Type: image/jpeg');
echo $data;
exit();

this doesn't work in IE.It doesn't show the image (tested in version 8)

What is the problem?

Thanks much

UPDATE

the script i've written is the part of php script, which re-size the image(generates new image, if new size less than original size)

you can see it's working here

my original image has the size 145

if i set the new width more then it's original size, then it's doesn't show in ie, and it's the script i have shown above

i.e it's not working if i set new width greater then 145, for example here

If it works in Firefox, but not in IE, my guess is going to be you are passing through a CMYK JPEG, which IE can't display. Try a different image.

If it works in no browser, take a look at the source code of the file. There might be PHP error messages in there that you don't see because of the content type header.
