There are several ways you can do this within a module view php file, I will show two samples.

Use eZFile class:

..
// $result is the file content
 
$file = new eZFile();
unlink('file.txt');
$file->create( 'file.txt', false, utf8_decode( $result ));
$file->download( 'file.txt',true, false );
eZExecution::cleanExit();

Use PHP header function:

...    
// sample from eZSurvey - $output is the file content
    $contentLength = strlen( $output );
    header( "Pragma: " );
    header( "Cache-Control: " );
    header( "Content-Length: $contentLength" );
    // header( "Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel" );
    header( "Content-Type: text/comma-separated-values" );
    header( "X-Powered-By: eZ Publish" );
    header( "Content-disposition: attachment; filename=export.csv" );
    // header( "Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary" );
    ob_end_clean();
    print( $output );
 
 
// fflush();
eZExecution::cleanExit();
...
