.xls suffix on controller function to make excel file?

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
Thanks for the direction on setting the MIME type

I ended up using the PHP header() method like so

Code:

header('Content-type: application/vnd.ms-excel');

header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="report.xls"');

I don't have the .xls on the url but all I wanted was for the link to make an excel file out of the current document anyway.

Thanks for the help!
