Try adding the following at the beginning of your script:

header('Content-Disposition:inline');

This should direct the browser to display the file instead of prompting a download, which may be the problem.

If I recall, Internet Explorer has a peculiar quirk when trying to open files, even if the proper MIME type is set in the header.

You may need to do the following to get the CSV to download:

  • Go to Tools > Internet Options
  • Select the Security tab, then press the Custom Level... button
  • Scroll down to the Downloads section, and under Automatic prompting for file downloads select Enable

Hopefully, that should resolve the issue.
