Exporting Database to Excel Result page

[ruedaminute]

My data exports without issue, until I get to the very bottom... if I include

header("Location: exportresult.php")

before

 print "$header"."$data"; 

then I am transferred to the result page, but the excel file does not export. If I include header(Location) after the print line, the excel file exports but I am not transferred to the correct result page... is there any way to get to a confirmation page that the file has exported?

if ($header!="" && $data!=""){
		header("Content-type: application/octet-stream"); 
		header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$title.xls"); 
		header("Pragma: no-cache"); 
		header("Expires: 0");
		//header("Location: exportresult.php"); 
		print "$header"."$data";
	} else {
		header("Location: exportproblem.php");
	}
