Saw many similar questions but nothing helped. I use PHPExcel. I tried
$filename = "report.xls";
header("Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel; charset=utf-8");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".$filename);
header("Cache-Control: max-age=0");
header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-Description: File Transfer");
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: Binary");
$objWriter = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createWriter($pExcel, 'Excel5');
$objWriter->save("php://output");
and this
$filename = "report.xlsx";
header('Content-Type: application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet');
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"".$filename."\"");
header("Cache-Control: max-age=0");
header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-Description: File Transfer");
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: Binary");
$objWriter = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createWriter($pExcel, 'Excel2007');
$objWriter->save("php://output");
But it shows in browser "PKoCjKG�D�X�[Content_Types].xml��MN�0���"" like this and doesnt force to download.
change filename to $filename, if you determine it before. Example:
require_once 'Classes/PHPExcel.php';
$objPHPExcel = new PHPExcel();
header('Content-Type: application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment;filename='.$filename);
header('Cache-Control: max-age=0');
$objWriter = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createWriter($objPHPExcel, 'Excel2007');
$objWriter->save('php://output');
It's work for me.
header("Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel; charset=UTF-8");
header("Content-Type: application/force-download");
header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-Type: application/download");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=output.xls");
Try to Replace
header("Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel; charset=utf-8");
With
header('Content-type: application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet');
I faced similar (Not exact) issue and fixed it from above mentioned code, Also I used it Here .
