try making the generated csv file an attachment to the php file... like
so...
<?php
$fileextension="csv";
$filename="report";
$fnsave = "$filename.$fileextension";
header("Content-type: application/force-download");
header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=$fnsave");
echo '1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8';
?>
usually works for me.
incidentally, what browser version are you using? on what os?
