EXPORT DATA TO EXCEL IN PHP

Question: I have recently made a website and have a members table in my sql. I have an admin page that has the ability to download that with column names; however I used to use INTO OUTFILE but that is not allowed on my host. I came up with this code to download the file:
<?php
if(file_exists('downloads/members_'.date("m-d-Y").'.csv') == true){
    header("Location: /downloads/members_".date("m-d-Y").".csv");
} 
$output=fopen('downloads/members_'.date("m-d-Y").'.csv','w+');
fputcsv($output,array(
                 'memberID','username','password','email',
                 'active','resetToken','resetComplete',
                 'support','supportToken'
             )
);
$rows =mysql_query("SELECT * FROM members;");
while($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($rows))
    fputcsv($output,$row);
header("Location: /downloads/members_".date("m-d-Y").".csv");
exit;
?>

This just outputs the column names and I have never used fputcsv before and am a tad confused on what I am doing wrong. I get the file to download but not with the table in it.
[EDIT] I just tried it with a valid sql query and it does not work. updated code above. Also There is stuff in the members table.

Here is real-time demo with sqllite3 database. Uncomment the create database and insert statement in order to see the working demo. I am using sqllite3 because it is testable online. You can easily integrate it in mysql database or any other databases.
