PHP mysql and excel

    I have a code that will grab my mysql data and write it to a file.
    Everything is working fine except diacritics. I have set it to UTF-8, if I save the result as a text it is working OK, when I open with excel diacritics are messed.
    Is there any header I have to add that will help excel read the diacritics?

    Here is my actual header:
        header("Pragma: public");
    header("Expires: 0");
    header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
    header("Content-Type: application/force-download");
    header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
    header("Content-Type: application/download");;
    header("Content-Disposition: attachment;filename=s.xls "); 
    header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary ");
    Code (markup):

    Ok A few changes.
    {php}
    header("Pragma: public");
    header("Expires: 0");
    header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
    header("Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel");
    header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=s.xls ");
    header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
    {/php}
    You had a bunch of headers that we not valid...The content-type can only be one thing. Anyway, if you need more help, I'm available through PM.

    Oh, I know, I have tested a lot of versions but it is the same. The headers you gave me are doing the same, save the file but with the diacritics messed.
