Hi ,
Try with this header.
$export_file = "YourFileName.xls";
ob_end_clean();
ini_set('zlib.output_compression','Off');
header('Pragma: public');
header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT");
// Date in the past
header('Last-Modified: '.gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s') . ' GMT');
header('Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate');
// HTTP/1.1
header('Cache-Control: pre-check=0, post-check=0, max-age=0');
// HTTP/1.1
header ("Pragma: no-cache");
header("Expires: 0");
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: none');
header('Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel;');
// This should work for IE & Opera
header("Content-type: application/x-msexcel");
// This should work for the rest
header('Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename="'.basename($export_file).'"');
Regards,
Lasitha
