Jon, Here's a simple example which throws a csv file for download:

header('Pragma: public');
header('Last-Modified: '.gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s') . ' GMT');
header('Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate');
header('Cache-Control: pre-check=0, post-check=0, max-age=0');
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: none');
header('Content-Type: application/excel; name="mycsvdownload.csv"');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="mycsvdownload.csv"');
print ("Name, Email, Location\\n");
print ("Vinu, me@xyz.com, Bangalore\\n");

Can you give an example of how this is used, using actual filenames? I’m unclear on how $path->pdfname and $path->pdfpath would be written in actual use. Thanks!
