Hello,
I have an excel file that I am generating. If I copy over the generated
file and then open it in excel, it works fine, if I try to let the user
download it using the headers below, when I then open it excel complains
that it is an unrecognizable format and the info is garbled...any ideas???
Thanks!

header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT"); //

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="myfile.xls"');
readfile("/tmp/myfile.xls");
