RE: HELP!!!

Yeah..use the mysql functions built into php. Open a text file with fopen() and then use fputs() to write to the text file. Then provide a link for the client to click and download the text file.

RE: HELP!!!

You can even use the header() function to let him generate a text file on the fly without having to save it on your server:

php Code:

Original - php Code
<? header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=data.txt"); ?>

 
<?
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=data.txt");
?>
