Re: [PHP] downloading a file using headers

[Jason Sheets]

You could use an iframe or you could turn on output buffering, when 
output buffering is enabled you can send headers after normal output has 
been sent.  Just do ob_start(); at the top of your script.  Not the most 
elegant way of doing it but it would work and not require you to use an 
iframe.

I have a page that queries the database then uses the data to build an
excel spreasheet.  THat spreadsheet is downloaded according to info in the
headers.  My manager wants to put the page inside of another HTML page to
make it prettier, but then it breaks because headers are already written
(it's included in the other HTML page).  It works fine on it's own, but
he really wants it in that page.  He wants to know if there is a
way to trick it into working.
Any ideas?  I can post the code if necessary, but it's loooong and messy.

THanks,
