You can use the download attribute in anchor tag. It can contain extensions like .img, .pdf, .txt, .html, etc. Here is an example
<a href="/images/myw3schoolsimage.jpg" download>
Put the php code in another page and make the download in side form with method post . in the page_with_code_to_generate_the_excel.php
if(isset($_POST){ ..PUT THE PHP CODE HERE}
that's how I did it it work every time, I hope my answer helped you ^_^
