Pls help with output of csv file to browser? [message #179280]

I'm trying to add the generation of a csv file to send to the
requestor's browser. So far I do have it working (sort of) by sending
special headers indicating a text file and using fputcsv. The user
receives the expected what to do prompt and if saved the dialog box
asking where to save it appears and works.

That's the good part.

The bad part is that there is no resulting/completion page. And, if I
examine the saved csv file it actually contains the html for the
subsequent page and the originating page still resides on the
requestor's screen.

My guess would be that once the file is sent another set of header
details must be sent to tell the browser that html is now coming.
But, I cannot locate any examples of what to send in this case.

I'm hoping that some of you readers have done this before and can
share the technique/mechanism used to accomplish this successfully.

Any ideas/examples/suggestions greatly appreciated.

Thank
