I'm trying to display a pdf file in php, I used:
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
#myiframe {
width: 600px;
height: 100%;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="scroller">
<iframe name="myiframe" id="myiframe" src="xml.pdf"></iframe>
</div>
</body>
</html>
it works in HTML well, but when I want to use this code into a php file, it displays nothing and only tries to download the pdf file. Can anybody help me?

PHP uses a standard code to display the pdf file in web browser. The process of displaying pdf involves location of the PDF file on the server and it uses various types of headers to define content composition in form of type, Disposition, Transfer-Encoding etc.
The easiest way to put PDF in an HTML document is using the <a> tag with its href attribute. You need to add the URL or the reference link of your PDF file to the element.
Generally, a hyperlink is used to link a PDF document to display in the browser. An HTML anchor link is the easiest way to display a PDF file. But if you want to display a PDF document on the web page, PDF file needs to be embedded in HTML. The HTML <embed> tag is the best option to embed PDF document on the web page.
Try this below code
<?php
$file = 'dummy.pdf';
$filename = 'dummy.pdf';
header('Content-type: application/pdf');
header('Content-Disposition: inline; filename="' . $filename . '"');
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($file));
header('Accept-Ranges: bytes');
@readfile($file);
?>
