Answer 1

The problem is you typed the wrong file extension for excel file. you used .xsl instead of xls.

I know i came in late but it can help future readers of this post.

Answer 2

Try this

header("Content-Type: application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment;filename=\"filename.xlsx\"");
header("Cache-Control: max-age=0");

Answer 3

Just try to add exit; at the end of your PHP script.

Answer 4

You are giving multiple Content-Type headers. application/vnd.ms-excel is enough.

And there are couple of syntax error too. To statement termination with ; on the echo statement and wrong filename extension.

header("Content-Type:   application/vnd.ms-excel; charset=utf-8");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=abc.xls");  //File name extension was wrong
header("Expires: 0");
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
header("Cache-Control: private",false);
echo "Some Text"; //no ending ; here
