hard to explain without examine. Can you manually download the file and try to read?
Please also post the download link so that i can see what in side.

similarly i cant view the picture too...

No preview available... error.

but that word doc and image file are stored in the folder 'upload'. if i go to that folder and open those files it working. i can view the content.

if i download those file using php, then the downloaded files are not working.... i used the code what u have suggested above...

the word document is not a csv file... its a normal word document....

Make sure the very first characters are
<?php

and the very last characters are
?>

And Make sure you didnt print any data anyway
no print_r or print or echo or anything otherwise your data must get destroyed

I can see there is 5 new line after your
?>
it would change the content of the file. to make sure check the file size in the server and the file size that you upload i guess you will get few bytes differetn
