In addition to foamcow answer (which is exactly how I do it). Here's some extra fruity code.

• Add a date to the file name.
• IE can cause problems.
• As it's just HTML, use the segment as a 'switch' to output as a page or download file. Handy when building your export.

    fetch_uri_segment('3');
            
        if($export)
        {       
            if (strstr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], "MSIE"))
            {
                header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
                header('Content-Disposition: inline; filename="custom_name_'.$date.'.xls"');
                header('Expires: 0');
                header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0');
                header('Pragma: public');
            } 
            else 
            {
                header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
                header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="custom_name_'.$date.'.xls"');
                header('Expires: 0');
                header('Pragma: no-cache');
            }
        }
    ?>
