Re: [PHP] Re: Generating an Excel file?

[Ben Ramsey]

Adding any of those headers still does not remove the ".php" from the 
end of the file when I am prompted for the download.  I have a client 
that will be downloading this file, and I do not wish to instruct them 
to first remove the ".php" extension before they can view it.

Alright.  You've all given some great suggestions, and I'm going to
track them down.  But, for now, I'm settling for creating a CSV file.
My next question:  How do I get the file to download without the ".php"
extension on the end?  It's downloading it as "filename.csv.php".
The code to right my headers is:

header("Content-Type: text/comma-separated-values");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$name.csv");
Do I need to add another header?



Here is an edited function i did from the pear spreadsheet writer class

function send($filename,$action=DOWNLOAD)
    {
                header("Content-type: application/vnd.ms-excel");
                switch ($action) {
                        case 'DOWNLOAD':
                        header("Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename=$filename");
                        break;
                case 'OUTPUT':
                                header("Content-Disposition: inline;
filename=$filename");
                                header("Content-Description: PHP Generated
Data");
                        break;
                }
                header("Expires: 0");
                header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0,pre-
check=0");
                header("Pragma: public");
    }
