Re: Excel export problem in IE

Dropping the browser is not the option. I have tried with the
header("HTTP/1.1 100 OK "); and header("Status: 200 OK"); but still
the same result.

Hi,
I have this script to export mysql data to excel. I have tried
everything but I am not able to get this script to work for IE. The
script downloads the data using Mozilla or Netscape but it fails and
says

Internet Explorer cannot download export.php from "IP Address" (this is

the IP on which the file resides). Internet Explorer was not able to
open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or
cannot be found. Please try again later.


If I remove the header("Content-type: application/vnd.ms-excel;
name='excel'"); then it outputs the database values on the page even
using IE . Not sure what is wrong with the script.

MSIE has great deal of problems with mime types (I guess it's for bill didn't
understand how it worked), you may need to add the following two headers
before the content-type

header("HTTP/1.1 200 OK");
header("Status: 200 OK");

I do strongly suggest you drop the broken browser and use only your Mozilla
or/and NetScape.
