Re: Embedded excel kills session with IE

I found the solution in another forum... here it is:

header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"export.csv\"");
header("Content-type: text/csv");

The important part is the "Content-Disposition".. this tells the
browser not to try to open it directly by using its plugin.

So the user still has the option to open it directly, but then a
normal Excel (or whatever other .csv editor is configured in the OS)
instance will open the file, and the session in the original window
does not get touched.

Maybe someone else has the same problem ;-)
