$result[] = array(
"first_name" => "Faison", "last_name" => "Zutavern",
"product_viewed" => "Razor", "time_viewed" => $ts
);
$filename = "report-$ts.csv";
header( 'Content-Type: text/csv' );
header( 'Content-Disposition: attachment;filename='.$filename);
$fp = fopen('php://output', 'w');
$hrow = $result[0];
fputcsv($fp, array_keys($hrow));

fputcsv($fp, $data);
}
fclose($fp);
}
// Execute the function
fz_csv_export();

As per the PHP documentation stated at: http://php.net/manual/en/function.header.php

Remember that header() must be called before any actual output is sent, either by normal HTML tags, blank lines in a file, or from PHP. It is a very common error to read code with include, or require, functions, or another file access function, and have spaces or empty lines that are output before header() is called. The same problem exists when using a single PHP/HTML file.

Just pass your headers at the beginning of the script, this will ensure that the headers are passed properly and the file can be downloaded.
