Hey there,

Another thing I'd add, is how different browsers handle filenames, as in
Kayra's example below.  If, for example, the filename is output.csv, some
will handle it correctly, some will give the name yourscriptname.php, and
worst of all, some versions of MS IE will name it something weird and
random like a3uxe382 (without an extension!)  It'd probably be a good idea
to give explicit instruction to save the resulting output and rename it
with the correct filename/extension.
