Why file downloaded is 0 byte?

I have this code triggered when user download mp3 file

$file = $_GET['file'];
$ext = pathinfo($file, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
$match_array =array('pdf','mp3','mpa','ra','wav','wma','mid','m4a','m3u','iff','aif');
if(in_array($ext,$match_array)){
  header("Content-type: application/".$ext);
  header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=". $file);
  readfile($file);
}

but downloaded file is 0 byte so what is the problem ?

File exists and $file contain this value

It was server problem and PHP was set on old 5 version so when I changed the version to 7 it worked fine.

Your issue might be a configuration problem.

Remember allow_url_fopen has to be = on in php.ini From Here

Another alternative might be to use the below code instead and save it to your local filesystem.

$localPath = "tmp/foo.mp3";
$contents = file_get_contents($file);
$save = file_put_contents($localPath, $contents);
