            <form name="downloadexcel" action="downloadexcel.php" method="post">
                <input type="text" name="data" value="<?php echo $content; ?>"/>
                <a href="javascript: submitform()">Download</a>
            </form>
            <script type="text/javascript">
                function submitform()
                {
                  document.downloadexcel.submit();

You can't send array like this. It will return Array. You can do it this way

<form name="downloadexcel" action="downloadexcel.php" method="post">

<?php foreach ($content as $item): ?>
    <input type="text" name="data[]" value="<?php echo $item; ?>"/>
<?php endforeach ?>

<a href="javascript: submitform()">Download</a>
</form>

This variant is the most elegant to use in templates or anywhere in the code. HTML will be easily validated by IDE and code assist will be also available.

Here's is an simple example:

$content = array('111', '222');

foreach($content as $c)
{
    echo "<input name='arr[]' value='{$c}'>";
}

You could alternatively use serialize and unserialize to send the values.
