POSTing to Wordpress admin_post, but need the code to run at INIT





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;

I have a POST action I am using to create an XLS spreadsheet.



However, this spreadsheet won't create properly because if I put it within the POST action, when it runs, headers have already been sent.



So, I tried to put the XLS code into another function and then use another add_action to run it at INIT.



I put that add_action call within the POST action, but it doesn't work correctly.



I only want this function running at INIT if I am POSTing to it. I don't want it running no matter what/on every single INIT.



    function thexlsfunction() {
//this is where the XLS code runs
}



function update_attendance_report_function() {
//this runs when I submit the form


add_action('init', 'thexlsfunction');
thexlsfunction();

}

add_action( 'admin_post_nopriv_attendance_report', 'update_attendance_report_function' );
add_action( 'admin_post_attendance_report', 'update_attendance_report_function' );
