Remember that everything you are sending to the browser -- whether it be by
print, echo, readfile, or HTML code outside of <?PHP ... ?>, becomes the
file the user is downloading. If you were to open the gzip file you're
sending, you'd notice that the "<BR><BR><BR><BR><H1><B>The file was
downloaded</B> successfully</B></H1><BR><BR><BR><BR>" is being appended to
the end of that file.
