1. Make sure your file editor doesn't save a BOM in your PHP file.
2. Try to move error_reporting / ini_set to make them the firsts PHP statements (before header() call). This way you will see all errors (if any). Don't forget to put that OFF in production!
3. Silly remark, but make sure this file is interpreted as PHP (extension is .php or if not an .htaccess tell the server to interpret as PHP).
4. Everything else is fine with your code. If it still doesn't work, check your server logs. Maybe something else crashes the execution of this PHP file (invalid MIME or else)...
