Topic awaiting preservation: php content-type blah blah doesn't work

ok, so what I want to do is read a file and output the text of the file to the browser. So if it's an html page, it won't show what the html does, it will just show the text of the file. So the code I have so far is this:

<?php

header("Content-type: text/plain");
readfile("C:\Jason\Website\garfield\index.html");

?>

I was thinking if I just sent a header saying that it's plain text and not something else that it would just show the plain text, but for some reason it's not working, and it's displaying the html.

you can try that too:

$fn = 'index.htm';

$fp = fopen($fn, 'r');

$mem = fread($fp, filesize($fn));

fclose($fp);

echo htmlentities($mem);

well it's not only for html files, so I don't think that'll work.
