Browsers will probably NOT populate these reliably...
Mac Safari, might, for example, choose "application/x-pdf" for the PDF
file.
You really can't rely on 'type' to be useful in any way, shape, or form.
See various recent thread regarding "mime_magic" and other options.

That's not a query, that's a result...
And you aren't checking it to see if it's an error, and you're not
using http://php.net/mysql_error to find out what the error is.

And once you have closed the connection mysql_close() the result is
GONE, so if you do want to see it, you'd need it to be before the
mysql_close() probably. It won't be very interesting, really, as it
will be FALSE if your SQL is messed up, and just a number from 1 to N
(where N is the number of queries you have sent) if the query
succeeded.
