Try to add the Content-length header and see if this resolves your problem:
header("Content-type: application/text");
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="variables.txt"');
header('Content-Length: ' . strlen($contents));
I made a habit to send the "filename" part in double quotes - some user
agents seem to require this although it's not required by RFC (RFC822,
RFC2183). Since doing this it always works for me :)
