The error is not in this snippet of code. The error is in the portion where
you are trying to print your result. You're probably not sending the
"Content-type" header to the client, so the browser doesn't know what the
following data is, therefore it doesn't know what program should handle it
(IE? Realplayer? Quicktime Player? Some other app?) and does the default
action to data to disk.
Show us the rest of the code and we might be able to help.

When you have a coding question, it's best to cut-and-paste directly from
the script, so that you don't have any inadvertent typos that throw
potential helpers off track, and so you can include the pertinent parts of
the script.
