Auto-generate csv file and offer to save

[pauliak1]

I've got a function to auto-generate a comma separated file and offer user to save it as .scv file.
I am using following lines:
header("Content-type: text/csv");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=new.scv");
printf("\"Company\",%d\n",$this->getCompany_ID());
printf("\"Emplyoee\",%d\n",$this->getEmployee_ID());

but it does not seem to work. instead of offering me to save new.csv file it offers to save company.php file (this file calls the function)

Any help???

I've seen the same problem when I use Netscape, with IE I have no problems.

The file contents is correct but filename is wrong.

For Internet Explorer, header("Content-Disposition: attachement") should be used so that the file contents will not be displayed (be inline) by the browser.

For Netscape, header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream").

Another general fix for many of the problems that occure when trying to prompt a
filename to download is to append a '/' to your download URL. This fixes a NS7
problem where it wants to add a .PHP extension to all filenames.
