Ok, first things first:

Unless those sample images are bogus test data, DESTROY THEM NOW. It looks like you're exposing medical records, which puts you in violation of HIPAA. Drawing some downright moronic white X's through the text but leaving MOST OF IT EXPOSED is not "anonymization".

I hope it's testing data, you've got "testingPatientName" as a header, but still...

Second: you're outputting three different Content-type headers. Think of what you'd do if someone handed you a hamburger and said "this is a hotdog, and it's a steak, and it's a piece of celery". What were you just handed?

Third: Your code is just the necessary code to force a download of (apparently) .csv data, but you don't show how it's generated. How do you build your $content?

From the looks of your pictures, you've got some tab characters (or other 'seperator') in the header fields, but are using commas as the seperator for the actual data. Notice how the "James TWright III" record splits where you've got commas in the "i want it like this" sample. If you want to embed commas within a .csv field, you have to surround the field with double-quotes ("), and if the field contains double quotes, you have to double-double quote (""). e.g, given:

 This is a double quote "containing" field, with a comma

becomes

 "This is a double quote ""containing"" field, with a comma" 

within the .csv output.
