php does not serve an image to html?

I am trying to serve an image to html via php script. But I am stuck and its not working :-( Below is my image.php script

<?
    $_GET['f'] = 'all_three.jpg';
$image = null;
$image = file_get_contents($_GET['f']);
    header("Content-Type: image/jpeg");
    echo $image;
?>

and below is my index.html 

    <html>
    <head>
       <meta content="text/html;charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type">
       <meta content="utf-8" http-equiv="encoding">
       <title>Page Title</title>
    </head>
    <body>
       <img src="image.php" alt="Image" />
    </body>
   </html>

The link to image is "hard-coded" inside the php, all I am doing is calling "image.php" to serve that hardcoded image and it does not work! What am i doing wrong?

when I view->source after loading image.php, i can see the php script

Either:

You are depending on short tags, but your server is configured to not support them.

Their use is not recommended, stop using them. Use <?php instead of <?

Or:

Your server does not support PHP. Install PHP on it.

The error is on Content-Encoding, what's Text editor are you use ? Notepad 6.x ?
If yes please try: 

Encoding > Encode in UTF-8 without BOM

BOM make php file have a more content and image doesn't accept another content else image
