While the file export process is working fine on Firefox and IE.

Answer 1

I also faced the same problem. While downloading a file having comma in its name it was saying "duplicate headers received" and it is only in chrome. In Firefox it was OK. After that I just changed my code from
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$myfilename"); to header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$myfilename\""); and it worked fine. Hope it will work for you.

Answer 2

Try this may help you, header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.$file_name.'"');

instead of

header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='.$file_name);

Answer 3

I've found out what my problem was in the header section of the PHP export code. The incorrect and correct lines are as follows:

Incorrect

header("Content-Disposition: attachment;filename=\"".$this->filename."\"");

Correct

header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"".$this->filename."\"");

The correction being adding a space between attachment; and filename

Hope this helps.

Answer 4

I had this same problem. However appearing only very rarely. Cause was similar but not quite the same.

Incorrect

header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$filename");

Correct

header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$filename\"");

$filename sometimes contained spaces resulting in mentionec Chrome error.
