i have this code that work for me on other projects but now instead to download the file is show the file on browser
$query = "SELECT * FROM leads";
$result = $dbconn->query($query);
$filename = "leads_shaldor_" . date("Y-m-d H:i");
$filepath = "/var/www/vhosts/as7.co.il/shaldor.as7.co.il/exports/"
.$filename. ".csv";
$downpath = "http://shaldor.as7.co.il/exports/" .$filename. ".csv";
$csvFile = fopen($filepath, 'w') or die("can't open file");
fprintf($csvFile, chr(0xEF).chr(0xBB).chr(0xBF));
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()){
fputcsv($csvFile,
array($row['id'],$row['name'],$row['phone'],$row['date']));
print_r($row);
}
fclose($csvFile);
header("Location: " . $downpath);
$result->close();
$sql->close();

Answer 1

$downpath = "http://shaldor.as7.co.il/exports/" .$filename. ".csv";
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: Binary");
header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=\"" . basename($downpath) . "\"")
Set the following headers. It should force a download. Your browser is opening it because it knows how to render the file.

You can use This.
To brute force all CSV files on your server to download, add in your .htaccess file:
AddType application/octet-stream csv
PHP Solution
header('Content-Type: application/csv');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=example.csv');
header('Pragma: no-cache');
readfile("/path/to/yourfile.csv");
