this worked for me...

    header("Pragma: ");
    header("Cache-Control: ");
    header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT");
    header("Last-Modified: " . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s") . " GMT");
    header("Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate");
    header("Cache-Control: post-check=0, pre-check=0", false);
    header("Content-type: application/csv-tab-delimited-table;");
    header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=downloaded.csv");

> This things bother me a lot, Could some one help me out:
