I'm trying to convert an array of products into a CSV file, but it doesn't seem to be going to plan. The CSV file is one long line, here is my code:

for($i=0;$i<count($prods);$i++) {
$sql = "SELECT * FROM products WHERE id = '".$prods[$i]."'";
$result = $mysqli->query($sql);
$info = $result->fetch_array(); 
}

$header = '';

for($i=0;$i<count($info);$i++)  
  {
    $row = $info[$i];

    $line = '';
    for($b=0;$b<count($row);$b++)
    { 
    $value = $row[$b];                                      
        if ( ( !isset( $value ) ) || ( $value == "" ) )
        {
            $value = "\t";
        }
        else
        {
            $value = str_replace( '"' , '""' , $value );
            $value = '"' . $value . '"' . "\t";
        }
         $line .= $value;
        }
    $data .= trim( $line ) . "\n";
}
$data = str_replace( "\r" , "" , $data );

if ( $data == "" )
{
$data = "\n(0) Records Found!\n";                        
}

header("Content-type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=your_desired_name.xls");
header("Pragma: no-cache");
header("Expires: 0");
print "$data";

Also, the header doesn't force a download. I've been copy and pasting the output and saving as .csv
