I have the following:
if ( $extension == 'xls' ){
header("Content-type: application/vnd.ms-excel");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$excel_filename
\"");
header("Expires: 0");
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0,pre-check=0");
header("Pragma: public");
echo $excel_file_data;
}
@flush();
@ob_end_flush();
exit();
