I have a stats tracking program and a page that displays stats for various
dates/items depending on what options the user selects. I need to add some
kind of external reporting tool, i.e. they'd like to download the
information, preferably in Excel.
I tried forcing Excel to open the data instead of the browser by sending
headers:
Header("Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel");
Header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='stats.xls'");
When I sent just the first one, all I got was a blank broswer page with a
picture (application?) icon in the top left hand corner. Then I added the
second header, which I found in a previous post in the archives, and that
forced a download but of the page itself (stats_print.php).
1) What am I doing wrong?
2) Every posting I found in the archives said this is the easiest way. Is
there another, harder but might work for me, way anyone would suggest of
doing this?
Thanks in advance,
-Lisi
