Oliver,

Let's start with the fopen(), where the mode expression might be causing problems - 
should it be "rb"?
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fopen.php

If the 'binary' component hasn't been recognised it might explain the "first mistake".
The ensuing problems may even stem from there...

Regards,
