What you could do is save the processed file in a temporary folder and provide a link to download the file in your processing statistics page. Or, you could redirect the user to the file after showing the statistics page. Rabin [ ... snipped ... ] I found a solution to my problem - an IFRAME with a 0 height and 0 width does the trick.

If someone knows of an example I could look at I'd be greatful. Send out the HTML for the stats, and bury a META tag something like: META HTTP-EQUIV=REFRESH CONTENT=0;http://example.com/cached_results.csv; / Course, now you have to work out how to keep the CSV file around long enough for it to download, and not criss-cross the files and purge them when they are old and all that... But it will sort of work like you think you want. Another option would be to just display the stats and provide a download link for right-click to get the CSV -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

What I would like to do is report some processing statistics prior to the user prior to sending the CSV steam. My CSV export ends with this: header(Content-type: application/vnd.ms-excel) ; header(Content-disposition: attachment; filename=CSVData. . date(Y-m-d)..csv) ; print $csvStream ; Unfortunately if I display any content prior to sending the CSV stream I get the 'headers already sent' error message.
