Blobbing Data With PHP and mySQL: Download tif file

I put some files (including .html, .doc, .jpg, .tif ) into mySQL using the script from "Blobbing Data With PHP and mySQL". All can be viewed in my browser except .tif (says abc.tif).

A pop-up windows appears and says 'You are downloading the file: downloadfile.php from URL Would you like to open the file or save it in your computer?' After saving downloadfile.php, i rename the file to downloadfile.tif. I can see it as same as my abc.tif.

How can i change the PHP code so that
1. I can see the real extension (i.e. .tif)
2. my browser realize the format of my file (i have tif browser plug-in so that my browser can recognize it immediately)

I try to echoing the header type and find that the .tif file type is for .tif: application/octet-stream (not image/tif). How can i let the grabfile.php know the file type should be image/tif automatically?
