Answer 1

I have a similar problem and i solved it with the exit function (used parameter status).

In model:

public static function xls($id)
{
    $xls = new PHPExcel();
    //Code ...
    $objWriter = new \PHPExcel_Writer_Excel5($xls);

    ob_start();
    $objWriter->save('php://output');
    $excelOutput = ob_get_clean();

    return $excelOutput;
}

In controller:

public function xls($id)
{
    header('Expires: Mon, 1 Apr 1974 05:00:00 GMT');
    header('Last-Modified: ' . gmdate('D,d M YH:i:s') . ' GMT');
    header('Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate');
    header('Pragma: no-cache');
    header('Content-type: application/vnd.ms-excel');
    header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=' . $id . '.xls');

    return exit(Controller::xls($id)); // <-- 
}
