Try this:
<?php
$fileextension="csv";
$filename="report";
$fnsave = "$filename.$fileextension";
header("Content-disposition: filename=$fnsave");
header("Content-type: application/force-download");
// generate your CSV content here and print them to the browser via ECHO
echo 'a,b,c,d,1';
//.........................
?>
