image file is showing binary not image

[shivers3000]

Hello,
Can someone tell me what I am missing? I have looked at a ton of tutorials about retrieving images as an image instead of binary from a file.
I have verified the image goes into the file perfect.

Thanks in advance

<?PHP
require_once('common.php');
session_start();

startFormHeader();

$name = $_FILES['userfile']['name'];

// validate uploaded file
$size = $FILES['userfile']['size'];
$tempFile = $FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'];
if ($userfile=='none')
{
echo "Problem: no file uploaded";
exit;
}

if ($size==0)
{
echo "Problem: uploaded file is zero length";
exit;
}

if (!is_uploaded_file($userfile))
{
echo "problem: possible file upload attack";
exit;
}

$upfile ='showVehicle/'.$userfile_name;

$copy = copy($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'],"showVehicle/".$name);

if(!$copy)
echo "System error: was not able to load image";
else
echo"File uploaded successfully<br><br>";

// Pull image from file
$grab = "showVehicle/".$name;
$fp = fopen($grab, "rb");
$contents = fread($fp, filesize($grab));

fclose($fp);

footer();
?>

<?php
// We'll be outputting a PDF
header("Content-type: application/pdf");

// It will be called downloaded.pdf
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=downloaded.pdf");

// The PDF source is in original.pdf
readfile('original.pdf');
?> 

This informs the browser of the Mime-Type, so it knows what to do with the information its being given. Otherwise it's just going to show the user a "text fileish" page with a bunch of jibberish.

Here's a list of Mime-Types

You'll be looking at something like

header("Content-type: image/jpeg");
