Write to PHP output buffer and then download CSV from buffer

I need to write a CSV file to the PHP output buffer and then download that file to the client's computer after it's done writing. (I wanted to just write it on the server and download it which was working, but it turns out I won't have write access on production servers).

I have the following PHP script:

$basic_info = fopen("php://output", 'w');
$basic_header = array(HEADER_ITEMS_IN_HERE);

@fputcsv($basic_info, $basic_header);

while($user_row = $get_users_stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)) {
    @fputcsv($basic_info, $user_row);
}

@fclose($basic_info);

header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-Type: application/csv');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=test.csv');
header('Expires: 0');
header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate');
header('Pragma: public');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize("php://output"));
ob_clean();
flush();
readfile("php://output");

I'm not sure what to do. The CSV file downloads but displays nothing. I assume it has something to do with the ordering of my ob_clean() and flush() commands, but I'm not sure what's the best way to order these things.

Any help is appreciated.
