I'm trying to download a CSV file through the browser. The script is partially working, because so far I managed to display the CSV on screen, but the download is not starting.
Here is what i tried so far:
if(isset($currency)) {
header("Content-Type: application/csv");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment;Filename=Pricelogs.csv");
ob_clean();
$filename = "/tmp/".uniqid().".csv";
exportCSVFile($filename, $currency, $country, $provider);
readfile($filename);
//unlink("'".$filename."'");
} else {
echo "ERR_USERNAME_PASSWORD";
exit();
}
I had already read all questions of this type from FAQ & also tried but it gets open on browser only,instead of downloading.
I had also used header with single quotes.
I also tried header("Content-Type: text/csv");
Also:
header("Expires: 0");
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
header("Cache-Control: private",false); // required for certain browsers
header("Content-Type: application/force-download");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"".$filename."\";" );
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
PUT your CSV file URL, it will display in browser in place of force browser to download. You can open it in iframe in your site.
