how to export excel file in same server

[stareagle]

My first post - php newbie, so appreciate your support.

 

I'm currently using headers to save web page as excel file.

 

$filename="sms.xls";

header("Pragma: public");

header("Expires: 0");

header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");

header("Cache-Control: public");

header("Content-Description: File Transfer");

header("Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel");

$header="Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".$filename.";";

header($header);

header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");

@readfile($file);

 

I want to be able to save a copy to the server not to opening dialog save?

Not sure what I need to change or add to achieve this?

 

Have looked around and tried searching on here? - can't see the search threads feature if there is one?

 

Many thanks.
