Brian Dunning started a thread about nine minutes before you on sending
a file to the browser. "Serving out a file to Firefox ... headers?"
That's pretty much all you need to do to read from a file (adding in
whatever fixes the problem he is experiencing with FireFox of course.)

If you wanted to store the data in a MySQL database it would be the same
procedure, except you would query the database (BLOB column type) and
echo that data instead of using readfile() to get your data.
