How to display(not download) files on a webpage in php?

I am showing a list of files on a webpage. Files may be of any type like pdf,doc,excel,txt etc. What i want is when some one click on an item of the list then that file should be displayed in another tab. I dont want to download the file. I just want them to be visible so that user can read it. I try this using php for pdf files i am able to get the plain content of the file but i want a viewer type of thing. Can i achieve this? If yes can i achieve this in php? If yes then how?

Thanks and Regards Sumit Rathore

This code is working in google chrome but not in other browsers.

downloading or viewing any file in browser depends on browser setting.

for example in firefox in Options - > Applications Tab you can change state of reading a file that can be downloading or viewing.

now, for display a file to visitor best solution is creating a special php or flash app.

Good Luck.
