New Comment:
Just a note: using file_get_contents() in this is not very useful,
readfile() is much better anyway.
Try this little script to see that it's is actually file_get_contents()
that is buggy:
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
$docFile = file_get_contents( 'word.doc' );
echo strlen($docFile), "\n";
echo file_put_contents( 'copy_word.doc', $docFile ), "\n";
?>
Then run this on the result:
# diff -a word.doc copy_word.doc
They should not differ..

Description:
------------
When you read in a binary file with file_get_contents() and try to
output it, it comes out garbled.
Note: as a workaround use readfile()
Reproduce code:
---------------
$docFile = file_get_contents( 'word.doc' );
header('Content-type: application/msword; charset: UTF-8');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="word.doc'"');
header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate');
print $docFile;
Expected result:
----------------
A proper word document.
Actual result:
--------------
Garbled binary text.
