Well, you have three solutions. One, you finish it the way you started,
in which case you'll need to use htmlspecialchars() on $out in the form
(otherwise you'll almost certainly escape from the form tag sooner or
later). Two, you store the data temporarily in a database or something
(faster for the user, they don't get to download the data twice). Three,
you re-generate this page on request. This is what I would do,
personally: I would link to the same page, only sending some parameter
(e.g. "&xls_output=true"). Then, at the beginning of the page you can
test for $xls_output and simply dump them headers in front of the whole
shebang if needed.
